Orthopedics. 2022 Jan-Feb;45(1):7-12. doi: 10.3928/01477447-20211101-04. Epub 2021 Nov 8.

Abstract

Neonatal brachial plexus injuries may cause critical limitations of upper extremity function. The optimal surgical approach to address neonatal brachial plexus injuries has not been defined. In this systematic review, we compare clinical results after spinal accessory to suprascapular nerve transfer and nerve graft techniques among patients with neonatal brachial plexus injury.
