Brachial plexus birth injury: advances and controversies

Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume)
While there is considerable spontaneous recovery in most cases of brachial plexus birth injury, many children are left with significant problems that may lead to lifelong functional limitations, loss of work and social isolation. Detailed treatment with the right strategy can provide very valuable improvement in function.

The Biology of Brachial Plexus Birth Injuries

2021
The provider caring for the child with brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) must be familiar with both the normal neonatal neuromuscular system and the biological perturbations caused by BPBI. In the normal nervous system, synaptogenesis and myelination occur postnatally in an activity-dependent manner. Neonatal peripheral nerve pathways have redundancy

Brachial Plexus Injuries During Birth

Early operative intervention for birth injuries to the brachial plexus

Seminars in Pediatric Neurology, 2000
Early surgical repair is indicated for selected infants who sustain birth trauma to the brachial plexus. In children with global or total paralysis, surgery should be performed by 3 to 4 months of age to maximize ultimate extremity function. Although the timing of surgery for children with Erb's palsy remains controversial, in properly selected cases ...
