Brachial Plexus Birth Injury: A Single-Center Study
Clinical Pediatrics, 2023Infants 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 September 2019.

Operative Brachial Plexus Surgery: Brachial Plexus Birth Injury – Neurodiagnostic Evaluation
2021Neurodiagnostic evaluation of children with a brachial plexus birth injury should ideally serve to express severity of the nerve lesion with the goals of early prognostication and aid to set the indication for nerve reconstructive surgery.

Birth Injuries of the Brachial Plexus
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 ...

Brachial Plexus Birth Injuries and Current Management
Clinics in Plastic Surgery, 1998OBPP 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
2021The 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.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

Neurosurgical correction of upper brachial plexus birth injuries
Journal of Neurosurgery, 1993✓ The authors review the cases of 116 infants treated consecutively for birth-related brachial plexus injuries. Twenty-eight infants with upper brachial plexus lesions who showed no neurological improvement by 4 months of age were selected for early surgical reconstruction (at a mean age of 5 months).

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.
