Nerve transfers in children with traumatic partial brachial plexus injuries.
Brachial plexus trauma is a rare condition in children except for obstetrical lesions, for which nerve grafting is generally proposed. Two children (9 and 12 years old) with C5 and C6 traumatic brachial plexus avulsion lesions are presented, where elbow flexion and shoulder abduction and external rotation were the functions to be restored. Nerve transfers have been performed. Shoulder abduction...

متن کاملComparison between partial ulnar and intercostal nerve transfers for reconstructing elbow flexion in patients with upper brachial plexus injuries
BACKGROUND There have been several reports that partial ulnar transfer (PUNT) is preferable for reconstructing elbow flexion in patients with upper brachial plexus injuries (BPIs) compared with intercostal nerve transfer (ICNT). The purpose of this study was to compare the recovery of elbow flexion between patients subjected to PUNT and patients subjected to ICNT. METHODS Sixteen patients (13...

متن کاملBrachial plexus injuries.
Injuries to the brachial plexus are common and are the most severe of all lesions of peripheral nerves, but the last 25 years have seen considerable advances in treatment. Much of this improvement followed the restatement of surgical principles regarding the treatment of wounds, and the application of methods of diagnosis and techniques of nerve repair which had been established much earlier. I...
