Intravenous Access in Infants Undergoing Bilateral Sural Nerve Grafts for Primary Brachial Plexus Exploration
Background Intravenous access (IVA) in infants undergoing primary brachial plexus exploration may be difficult. Both lower limbs are prepared and draped for sural nerve graft harvesting. The injured upper limb is also prepared and draped and is not available for IVA. In difficult IVA from the remaining upper limb, we have been using one of the feet for IVA. The infection rate and problems of in...
متن کاملNeurophysiological studies of autogenous sural nerve grafts.
Sixteen autogenous sural nerve grafts used for ulnar and median injuries in the forearm have been studied neurophysiologically up to two and a half years after operation. Motor and sensory nerve conduction studies revealed a slow but sustained improvement during the follow-up period. By two years, motor conduction velocity across the graft itself reached in most cases 40 to 85% of the conductio...
متن کاملReconstruction of pediatric brachial plexus injuries with nerve grafts and nerve transfers.
PURPOSE To review the demographics and injury patterns in consecutive pediatric patients with traumatic brachial plexus injury presenting to a single center over a 16-year period and to review the outcomes of nerve grafting and nerve transfers for reconstruction of shoulder abduction and elbow flexion in these patients. METHODS Forty-five pediatric patients presented for treatment of traumati...
متن کاملEvidence of the Effectiveness of Primary Brachial Plexus Surgery in Infants With Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy–Revisited
A recent systematic review questioned the effectiveness of primary surgery in infants with obstetric brachial plexus palsy. At our center, the indication for primary surgery in infants with upper Erb's obstetric palsy is the lack of active elbow flexion at age 4 months. The current study compares the outcome of motor recovery in 2 groups of infants with upper Erb's palsy: one group (n = 9) trea...
متن کاملNerve grafting in brachial plexus injuries. Results of free grafts in 90 patients.
We have assessed the efficacy of free nerve grafts in 90 cases of brachial plexus injury. Relatively good recovery of the elbow flexor and extensor muscles and of those of the shoulder girdle was found but recovery of the flexors and extensors of the forearm and of the intrinsic muscles of the hand was extremely poor. Poor results were found when spinal nerve roots seemed normal to the touch an...
