84. Brachial Plexus Injury / Erb's Palsy Information about the condition and of surgical procedure to treat it. http://www.bcm.edu/pednsurg/disorder/brachial.htm

Brachial Plexus Injury / Erb's Palsy The surgical procedure requires special anesthesia, an operating microscope, sophisticated electropysiological monitoring equipment and numerous specialists in order to meticulously expose and identify each of the nerves of the brachial plexus and the surrounding structures. Most children with a brachial plexus injury have damage to multiple nerves and more than one procedure must be performed. Recovery of some function can be expected within four months of surgery, with younger children recovering at a faster rate. Of those who undergo surgery, recovery, in the appropriate time frame, is 85-90% of full unction o the aected muscle groups in the upper extremities above the elbow. Injuries involving nerves below the elbow have a lower rate of improvement (approximately 50-60%) due to the locations of these nerves and the distance needed for regeneration. No child who has been treated at the TCH Brachial Plexus Clinic has ever been made worse. For those infants unlikely to have any functional recovery if managed conservatively, brachial plexus surgery can make the difference between a normal life and one burdened with significant disability, reduced life options, and increased medical expenses.

Includes brachial plexus injury. brachial plexus surgery, patient resources and surgeon information. http://www.drnathbrachialplexus.com

February 2, 2005 Dear Dr. Nath, We wanted to write and thank you for all that you have done for our son John. He was born on 3/19/01 and suffered a brachial plexus injury as a result of a traumatic birth experience. The enclosed pictures show his arm and the extent of it's deformity when we brought him to you. John was 6 months old when you performed the nerve graft surgery. He subsequently had the mod-quad at age 1 and the capsulodesis at age 2. (Also under your excellent care.) The results are extraordinary. The "before and after" pictures demonstrate the remarkable difference you have made in John's life. We feel so fortunate to have you as John's physician and can't bear to imagine what his outcome would have been without you. You are a remarkable man with tremendous talents. Thank you for your devotion to John and every other BPI patient. You are the future of our children. Thank you for working so hard to improve their quality of lives. With our utmost gratitude and respect, Dr. Patrick, Rebecca and John McDonnell

Arthritis of the Hand Arthritis of the Base of the Thumb Amputation and Prosthetics Brachial Plexus Injury ... Wrist Sprains How it happens The nerves to the arm, hand and fingers exit the spinal cord between the bones (vertebrae) of the neck and travel into the arm below the collarbone (clavicle). The nerves to the arm exit high in the neck; those that go to the hand and fingers exit lower in the neck, just above the chest. These nerves branch and join together near where the neck joins the shoulder, in an area called the brachial plexus. There are four types of nerve injuries to the brachial plexus. Avulsion injuries. The nerve is torn from its attachment to the spinal cord. This is the most serious type of injury. Rupture injuries. The nerve is torn, but not at the spinal cord. Neuroma injuries. These injuries result from scar tissue that forms and puts pressure on the nerve. Stretch injuries. These injuries, known as neurapraxia (new-rah-PRAK-see-ah) are the most common. The nerve is damaged but not torn. Normally, these injuries heal on their own, usually within three months. Treatment If there is no change over the first three months, nerve surgery may be helpful. However, nerve surgery will not restore normal function or help infants over one year old. After surgery, the infant will wear a splint for approximately three weeks. Because nerves grow at a rate of one inch per month, it may take several months, or even years, for nerves repaired at the neck to reach the muscles of the lower arm and hand.

99. Brachial Plexus Injuries In The Newborn brachial plexus injuries include weakness or total paralysis of muscles innervatedby the Total plexus palsy involves both the lower and upper roots. http://www.rashaduniversity.com/mrashad/brplininne.html

Brachial plexus injuries include weakness or total paralysis of muscles innervated by the brachial plexus C-5 to C-8 and T1. Erb's Palsy refers to involvement of C5 and C6 +/- C7 resulting in proximal muscle weakness. Klumpke's Palsy refers to involvement of C8 and T1 resulting in weakness in the intrinsic muscles of the hand. Isolated Klumpke's Palsy rarely occurs in the newborn period (0.6% of cases in one study). Total plexus palsy involves both the lower and upper roots. Incidence 0.5 to 2.0 per 1000 live births [1], 0.37-0.87 per 1000 live births [2]. 10 to 20 times more common than spinal cord injuries. 90% [1] or 58-72% [2] of cases are Erb's Palsy. In 10% the entire brachial plexus is involved [2]. Ipsilateral diaphragm is involved in 5% of cases of Erb's Palsy. Horner's Syndrome via T1 sympathetic injury occurs in 1/3 of total plexus palsies. Bilateral injury in 8-23% [2]. Traumatic lesions associated with brachial plexus injury: fractured clavicle (10%), fractured humerus (10%), subluxation of cervical spine (5%), cervical cord injury (5-10%), and facial palsy (10-20%). Pathogenesis Thought to result from stretching or avulsion of the brachial plexus by extreme lateral traction. Major pathology often involves the nerve roots, the upper ones are more vulnerable. There is a relationship between gross pathology and outcome, with injury only to the nerve sheath having the best prognosis and severance of axons or roots having the poorer prognosis. The most severe lesion is avulsion of the root from the cord. Axon regeneration occurs at the rate of 1.8 mm per day in neonates. Pathogenic Events Large depressed infant with an abnormal labor and delivery. Obstetrical factors abnormal presentation, dysfunctional labor, augmented labor, large fetal size, fetal depression. Large fetal size weight exceeds 3500 grams in 50-70% of cases. Fetal depression signs of fetal distress in 44% of cases. Neurological Features

Class is in Session: Take your seats, please. BRACHIAL PLEXUS BIRTH INJURY Please review your anatomy . In brief, nerves exit the spinal cord in the lower neck and travel to an area underneath the collar bone, where they coalesce to form the brachial plexus - almost like a fuse box. It is here that these nerve roots intermingle to emerge as the major nerves which innervate the shoulder, arm, and hand. Those nerve roots are the fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth cervical nerve roots (cervical = in the neck) and the first thoracic nerve. Occasionally the fourth cervical or the second thoracic root is included. During birth, the baby may become stuck when the head or the shoulder is unable to clear the mother's pelvic outlet. In trying to get the baby delivered before any serious breathing or circulation problem occurs, traction on the head or shoulder may stretch nerve roots.
