Brachial Plexus Birth Injuries and Current Management

Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1998
OBPP is a condition that, for the majority of patients, resolves spontaneously with appropriate nonoperative treatment. However, those patients who do not improve spontaneously now have a better chance for recovery owing to recent advances in microsurgery and nerve-transfer techniques.

Brachial Plexus Birth Injury: Mechanism of Injury

2021
The leading theory regarding the mechanism of brachial plexus birth injury suggests mechanical traction to the brachial plexus due to stretching of the space between an infant’s neck and shoulder. Given that there is no single factor associated with all cases, this is likely a wide spectrum of etiologies.

Brachial Plexus Birth Injury: A Single-Center Study

Clinical Pediatrics, 2023
Infants can sustain traction injury to brachial plexus nerves during birth, called brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI). While spontaneous recovery is possible, upper extremity weakness can linger. We report our experience at a brachial plexus clinic from a retrospective chart review of infants with BPBI from September 2017 to ...

Early Reconstruction of Birth Injuries of the Brachial Plexus

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1981
Three 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, 2021
In 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, 1997
To 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

2021
The 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 ...

Team Approach: Management of Brachial Plexus Birth Injury

JBJS Reviews, 2020
» Brachial plexus birth injury is an upper-extremity paralysis that occurs from a traction injury to the brachial plexus during birth. Approximately 10% to 30% of children with a brachial plexus birth injury have residual neurologic deficits with associated impact on upper-limb function.» Management of brachial plexus birth ...
