Abstract



Purpose


We report on the results we obtained with reconstruction for total paralysis of the brachial plexus using long nerve grafts that connect nonavulsed roots to the musculocutaneous and radial nerve. Nerve transfers were performed to restore function of the suprascapular nerve, triceps long head, and pectoralis major muscle.
