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.

A 25-year-old man consulted us because of neuropathic supraclavicular pain and the appearance of a supraclavicular mass whose volume had increased.

Article Synopsis
- - Techniques like nerve grafting, tendon transfer, and joint fusion are commonly used to enhance upper limb function for patients with brachial plexus palsies.
- - Innovative methods, like nerve transfers, are particularly beneficial for restoring function in cases of total root avulsions and improving movement in partial injuries.
- - Intraoperative electrical stimulation helps identify injured nerves for targeted treatment, and evaluating postoperative outcomes is essential for assessing the effectiveness of these techniques.
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.
Article Synopsis
- - This study addresses the limitations of 2D X-rays for assessing hand functional disorders by introducing a 3D reconstruction method using biplanar X-rays, offering more detailed information about bone structures.
- - The reconstruction method was validated by comparing results to CT scans, demonstrating high precision with differences in measurements typically less than 1.55mm, as well as consistent results among different operators.
- - The findings suggest that this method can enhance understanding of hand anatomy, providing more accurate and objective data for diagnosing and treating hand conditions, with potential for further automation.
