Abstract

Brachial plexus inuries is a major challenge in devloping country like India. Both adult and birth palsy are present . Disease load is significant and facilities to treat these are far and few. Trained doctors , anaesthesia ,nerve monitoring facillites are major challenges . In my practice the brachial plexus injuries are significant part of work .In brachial plexus surgery we basucally work to restore shoulder and elbow movements .One nerve transfer for shoulder and one nerve transfer for elbow .Elbow flexion is fine but getting shoulder to move it becomes tricky. It takes almost eight muscle to move shoulder, so plan was to do two nerv transfer for shouder. This showed good results as shoulder abduction improved . So I made part of my practice to do two nerve transfer for shoulder function and on transfer for elbow function.
