The Peripheral Nerve Injury Service, University Hospitals Birmingham NHS Foundation Trust, UK.
Background: Transfer of the supinator motor branches to the posterior interosseous nerve (SPIN) was first described as a reliable method of restoration of digit extension in cases of paralysis when there is retained function in the 5th and 6th cervical nerve roots with loss of function in the 8th cervical nerve root.
Methods: We performed a retrospective review of all the SPIN transfers that were performed in our unit which included 16 limbs in 14 patients over a 6-year period. The median age was 49 years (range 22-74).

Brachial neuritis, or Parsonage-Turner syndrome, is a rare disease characterized by a sudden, self-limiting pain in the upper limb followed by weakness and atrophy of the shoulder girdle muscles. Bilateral brachial plexus involvement occurs in between 10 and 30% of the patients, but symptoms are usually asymmetrical. The most common etiological factors include infection (25 to 55%) and autoimmune conditions.

Although both viral as well as bacterial vaccines have been reported to cause neurological adverse events, brachial plexitis following vaccination is very uncommon. Vaccination drive against COVID-19 was started on 16th Jan 2021 in India.

Article Synopsis
- - Neuralgic amyotrophy (NA) is a rare condition characterized by sudden shoulder pain followed by weakness in the arm, primarily affecting the upper brachial plexus, and can often mimic cervical radiculopathy due to its similar symptoms.
- - A 76-year-old male developed NA after hip surgery, experiencing shoulder pain and arm weakness; diagnostic imaging confirmed brachial plexopathy and unique signs of NA including a focal constriction at the suprascapular nerve.
- - Treatment for NA involved corticosteroids and physical therapy, leading to significant recovery in shoulder muscle strength within a month, highlighting the importance of recognizing NA's distinct features for accurate diagnosis.
