While most neonatal obstetrical brachial plexus injuries improve spontaneously, some require surgical intervention. It is critical for providers to recognize, diagnose, and treat these pathologies in a timely fashion to optimize the long-term function of affected muscles. In this chapter, we briefly discuss the presentation, natural history, and operative nerve repairs. As an example, we provide a cadaver dissection video of the spinal accessory to suprascapular nerve transfer via posterior approach to restore shoulder abduction and external rotation.

摘要

While most neonatal obstetrical brachial plexus injuries improve spontaneously, some require surgical intervention. It is critical for providers to recognize, diagnose, and treat these pathologies in a timely fashion to optimize the long-term function of affected muscles. In this chapter, we briefly discuss the presentation, natural history, and operative nerve repairs. As an example, we provide a cadaver dissection video of the spinal accessory to suprascapular nerve transfer via posterior approach to restore shoulder abduction and external rotation.
