Neonatal brachial plexus injury: Obstetrical factors and neonatal management

Journal of Pediatric Rehabilitation Medicine, 2011
Neonatal brachial plexus injury (BPI) is a birth outcome characterized by injury to the brachial plexus identified after delivery. Though uncommon, its potential occurrence following delivery is concerning for both the delivering clinician as well as the

Obstetric brachial plexus injury

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2011
Obstetric brachial plexus injury (OBPI), also known as birth brachial plexus injury (BBPI), is unfortunately a rather common injury in newborn children. Incidence varies between 0.15 and 3 per 1000 live births in various series and countries.

Long-Term Results of Isolated Latissimus Dorsi to Rotator Cuff Transfer in Brachial Plexus Birth Injury

Journal of Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve Injury
Background Brachial plexus birth injury results in deficits in strength and motion, occasionally requiring surgery to restore power to the deficient external rotators of the shoulder in these patients.

Recovery of the Total Birth Brachial Plexus Palsy without Surgical Treatment: A Single-Center, Retrospective Study and Literature Review

Archives of Plastic Surgery
Background Spontaneous recovery of a birth brachial plexus disorder is difficult to predict. Although root avulsion and total plexus injury is indicated for surgical management, early nerve surgery is still doubtful.

Motor neuron survival is associated with reduced neuroinflammation and increased autophagy after brachial plexus avulsion injury in aldose reductase-deficient mice

Journal of Neuroinflammation, 2022
Brachial plexus root avulsion (BPRA) is frequently caused by high-energy trauma including traffic accident and birth trauma, which will induces massive motoneurons (MNs) death as well as loss of motor and sensory function in the upper limb.

The impact of metal cup size on neonatal and maternal morbidity in vacuum‐assisted deliveries

International Journal of Gynecology &Obstetrics, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective To evaluate whether metal cup size influences maternal and neonatal morbidity in vacuum‐assisted deliveries (VAD). Materials and Methods Retrospective cohort at a single tertiary center (2011–2022) comparing 60‐mm versus 50‐mm Malmström cups. A 1:1 matched cohort analysis balanced maternal and obstetric variables.
