There is no generally accepted diagnostic, treatment and follow-up algorithm for brachial plexus birth palsy in the current literature. This study evaluates the opinion of experts in the field of brachial plexus birth palsy surgery, to provide a follow-up guideline. A total of 35 experts attending an international meeting with a mean of 21.5 years (SD 10.1) of experience in the field filled out a questionnaire to evaluate the following: (1) the surgeons’ background; (2) clinical follow-up; (3) radiological follow-up; and (4) International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) domains. A mean of 40 new brachial plexus birth palsy patients were seen per year by each expert, of which 36% needed surgery. In total, 27 experts scheduled a regular follow-up every year and the majority (83%) believed that standardized long-term clinical follow-up is necessary. However, standardized radiological follow-up is not necessary. Only 13 of 34 participants used patient-reported outcome measures to investigate ICF domains. Level of evidence: V
