Objective: Nerve transfers are an alternative in the reconstruction of traumatic brachial plexus injuries. In this study, we report the results of branchial plexus reconstruction using accessory to suprascapular nerve transfer.
Methods: Thirty-three patients with traumatic brachial plexus injuries underwent surgical reconstruction with accessory to suprascapular nerve transfers.
Objective: To evaluate the arc of forearm pronosupination of patients with sequelae of birth paralysis and correlate with these variables.
Methods: 32 children aged between 4 and 14 years with total or partial lesions of the brachial plexus were evaluated; measurements of pronation and supination, active and passive, were made, both on the injured side and the unaffected side.
Results: A statistically significant difference was observed between the injured side and the normal side, but there was no difference between the groups regarding age or type of injury.
