Birth Injuries of the Brachial Plexus
Obstetrical & Gynecological Survey, 1981Between March 1969 and May 1978, 36 babies sustained birth injuries of the brachial plexus at the National Women's Hospital, Auckland, New Zealand. This gives an incidence of 0.87 per 1000 live births. Nearly 80 per cent of these children had made a complete recovery by the age of 13 months, while none of those with significant residual defects has ...

Clinics in Perinatology, 2004Birth injuries of the brachial plexus are fairly common, but the majority of affected newborns make quick recoveries without any specific intervention. A minority suffer more severe injuries that lead to varying degrees of life-long disability. Happily, modern microsurgical techniques permit reconstruction of certain plexus injuries and, in carefully ...

Early Reconstruction of Birth Injuries of the Brachial Plexus
Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1981Three patients with brachial birth palsy were operated on within 3 months after delivery. Reconstruction of the part of the torn brachial plexus was accomplished width free nerve grafts. At follow-up after an average interval of 2 years, 4 months, the deltoid, biceps, and external rotators of the upper arm were improved to a degree that could not ...

Histopathological nerve assessment in brachial plexus birth injuries
Hand Surgery and Rehabilitation, 2021In children suffering from brachial plexus birth injuries (BPBI), one major difficulty concerns intraoperative selection of the roots to be used for reconstruction. Between November 2018 and August 2020, surgical qualitative evaluations and pathological quantitative analyses were conducted on 52 roots and 29 distal neural stumps (trunks, divisions ...

Birth Weight as a Predictor of Brachial Plexus Injury
Obstetrics & Gynecology, 1997To examine the relationship between birth weight and brachial plexus injury and estimate the number of cesareans needed to reduce such injuries.All 80 neonatal records coded for brachial plexus injury from October 1985 to September 1993 at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts, were studied along with linked maternal files.

Management of Brachial Plexus Birth Injuries: Pan Plexus
2021The role of early microsurgical reconstruction in total birth palsies cannot be disputed. Surgery inevitably involves comprehensive exploration of the injured area and re-establishment of the brain’s control of the paralysed upper limb by bridging viable proximal stumps of the broken roots to the suitable distal targets.

A Systematic Review of Brachial Plexus Surgery for Birth-Related Brachial Plexus Injury
Pediatric Neurosurgery, 2003<i>Objective:</i> Brachial plexus injury complicates 0.6–2.6 per 1,000 live births. Surgery is sometimes advocated for patients who fail to improve with conservative management. We reviewed the available literature on birth-related brachial plexus palsy in order to provide recommendations for surgical management, using evidence-based ...
