Upper Brachial Plexus Injuries: Grafts vs Ulnar Fascicle Transfer to Restore Biceps Muscle Function
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINSPHILADELPHIA, 2012)
BACKGROUND: Nerve transfers or graft repairs in upper brachial plexus palsies are 2 available options for elbow flexion recovery. OBJECTIVE: To assess outcomes of biceps muscle strength when treated either by grafts or ...
Fascicular Topography of the Suprascapular Nerve in the C5 Root and Upper Trunk of the Brachial Plexus: A Microanatomic Study From a Nerve Surgeon`s Perspective
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2010)
BACKGROUND: In patients with supraclavicular injuries of the brachial plexus, the suprascapular nerve (SSN) is frequently reconstructed with a sural nerve graft coapted to C5. As the C5 cross-sectional diameter exceeds the ...
