“…[16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24] Although Pearl and Edgerton 5 found that 20% of the children in their series required formal anterior release in addition to the subscapularis slide, this seemed to be associated with older age at surgery. These results are in agreement with others, who also reported excellent correction of deformity with the subscapularis slide.…”

“…Different authors set different priorities for surgical reconstruction following these injuries. Some authors prioritize regaining satisfactory shoulder and elbow motor function followed by basic sensorimotor function of the hand (Grossman, 2006; Shenaq et al, 2004); others focus on improving hand function (El-Gammal et al, 2010; Gilbert, 1995; Gilbert et al, 2006; Kawabata et al, 1987; Pondaag and Malessy, 2006). The functional recovery of the shoulder and elbow is usually better than the hand due to shorter regeneration distances and less complex muscle function.…”

“…O ressurgimento da cirurgia de reconstrução do plexo braquial em lactentes (GILBERT et al, 1988) trouxe grandes expectativas. Muitos autores defendem a cirurgia como forma de melhorar o prognóstico dos pacientes com lesões graves GROSSMAN, 2006;HENZ;MEYER, 1991;KAY, 1999;LAURENT et al, 1993;PIATT, 2005;SHENAQ et al, 2005). Contudo, a idade ideal para a realização do procedimento gera grande controvérsia na literatura: cirurgias precoces estariam relacionadas a um melhor prognóstico (TERZIZ; PAPAKONSTANTINOU, 1999); por outro lado, poderiam ser operados muitos pacientes destinados à recuperação espontânea (SPINNER; KLINE, 2000).…”
