We consider that it is important to report not only muscle recovery, but also other aspects of recovery.

Our surgical results suggest that the transfer of the medial pectoral nerve to the musculocutaneous nerve and also to the axillary nerve may be a reliable and effective procedure.

Compared with previous studies, the number of lesions with complete functional loss and complete anatomic loss of continuity is larger. In cases that were prognostically favorable according to the location of injury, the results are similar regardless of the type of nerve repair.

Our findings suggest that nerve transfer of collateral branches when possible, such as in cases involving upper brachial plexus palsy, may be the method of choice, yielding better results.
