The results of decompression of the musculocutaneous nerve entrapment in children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy

Secondary problems in neonatal brachial plexus dysfunction: commentary and personal opinions

“…The modality of treatment that have the most significant impact is undoubtedly microneural reconstructions. Microneural reconstruction refers to the reconstruction of damaged parts of the brachial plexus with nerve grafts, distal nerve transfers and decompression of nerves that were exposed to secondary entrapment during the healing process distal to the injured segment (Fırat et al., 2020). Although restorative surgical procedures to correct secondary problems in the shoulder and elbow region can provide very significant functional gains, the greatest chance that can be given to the patient to obtain a sensitive, flexible and grasping hand is to perform a comprehensive neural reconstruction at an earlier stage.…”

Ultrasonographic evaluation of the posterior interosseous nerve in a patient with cerebrovascular pathologies

“…Finally, to our knowledge, there is only one case report describing concomitant drop hand and cerebral hemorrhage in the literature. 3 For patients with unexpected (primary or secondary) peripheral nerve entrapments that need to be scanned throughout the body, 4 US examination appears to be paramount.…”
