Anterior transfer of the long head of triceps nerve to the terminal part of the anterior division of the axillary nerve through two incisions: A cadaveric feasibility study.

Purpose: Restoring shoulder function after axillary nerve injury is always a challenge. Transferring a branch of the radial nerve destined to the triceps onto the anterior division of the axillary nerve has become the preferred technique. However, this is not always possible, especially when the axillary nerve is severely injured around the posterior part of the humeral neck.

Tendon transfer from a re-innervated triceps to the biceps for restoration of elbow flexion in total brachial plexus palsy.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the outcomes of the tendon transfer from a reinnervated triceps to biceps in the context of total brachial plexus palsy.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study. Patients had reinnervation of the triceps either by spontaneous recovery or by nerve transfer.

Prospective evaluation of early functional recovery of displaced fractures of the middle third of the clavicle whether operated or not.

Introduction: Several studies have analyzed the functional recovery after plate fixation of a displaced fracture of the middle third of the clavicle beyond the 6th week. The aim of this study was to assess the early functional recovery in the first 6 weeks, which has not yet been investigated.

Hypothesis: Functional recovery in the first 6 weeks after surgical treatment is better than in the first 6 weeks of functional (non-operative) treatment.

Variability of shoulder girdle proprioception in 44 healthy volunteers.

Background: Improved knowledge of normal shoulder girdle proprioception should benefit the treatment and rehabilitation of shoulder disorders. Whereas many of the available methods for assessing joint position sense (JPS) are costly and complex, Balke et al. have described a simple test.
