[Initial muscle operations in brachial plexus paralysis].

Abstract

Regeneration after surgical treatment of fresh or delayed brachial plexus injuries is often incomplete, with remaining sensory and motor loss. The aim of reconstructive surgery for these patients is to regain subordinate motor function. Therefore, reconstructive surgery should emphasize the restoration of elevation abduction and external rotation of the shoulder, elbow flexion and flexion of the fingers for basic grasping.
