Use of a Pedicled Vascularized Ulnar Nerve as a Long Graft for Complete Brachial Plexus Palsy in Adults to Restore Elbow Flexion: Should this Practice Continue?
Restoring elbow flexion is a priority in adults with complete brachial plexus palsy. If the nerve root is not avulsed, a graft can be placed between the existing root and the musculocutaneous nerve. The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes of using vascularized ulnar nerve grafts in this…

Fascicular Injury in True Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome Associated with Manual and Shockwave Therapies: A Case Report
True neurogenic thoracic outlet syndrome (nTOS) is a rare condition resulting from brachial plexus compression, frequently associated with congenital anomalies such as cervical ribs or fibrous bands. We report a unique case of nTOS involving both a cervical rib and fibrous band, complicated by an…

Brachial Plexus Anatomy of Sprague Dawley Rat Compared to Human
Brachial plexus injury (BPI) occurs when the brachial plexus (BP) is compressed, stretched, or avulsed. A mild BPI results in acute arm pain, tingling, or numbness, while more severe injuries can lead to permanent muscle weakness or loss of function of the extremity if left untreated. Many BPI…

Intraoperative Assessment of Nerve Traction Injury in Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy
We present an easy classification for nerve lesions observed in reconstructive surgery for obstetric brachial plexus palsy, performed through a supraclavicular approach and systematic exposure of nerve roots and trunks. A description of signs related to nerve traction injury (scarring, fascicular…

Cortical Neurotransmitters Measured by Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy Change Following Traumatic Brachial Plexus Injury
Introduction GABA (γ-aminobutyric acid) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the brain. In response to injury within the central nervous system, GABA promotes cortical plasticity and represents a potential pharmacological target to improve functional recovery. However, it is unclear how GABA…

Surgical Treatment of Obstetric Plexus Lesions by Direct Coaptation Compared to Sural Nerve Graft Interposition
Background To date, there are no uniform guidelines for the treatment of obstetric plexus lesions in German-speaking countries. An end-to-end direct suture after resection of trunk neuroma is recommended for surgical treatment if tension-free coaptation is possible, whereas the use of autologous…

Ulnar Nerve Granuloma Presenting as a Peripheral Nerve Sheath Tumor: A Case Report and Literature Review
Peripheral nerve masses have a wide differential diagnosis; however, there is no established diagnostic framework for evaluating non-neoplastic etiologies, such as inflammatory or infectious lesions. Here, we present a rare case of an ulnar nerve granuloma that initially mimicked a peripheral nerve…

Effects of COVID-19 Pandemic in Patients with a Previous Phrenic Nerve Transfer for a Traumatic Brachial Plexus Palsy
Background With the advent of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, some doubts have been raised regarding the potential respiratory problems that patients who previously underwent a phrenic nerve transfer could have.

Long-Term Results of Isolated Latissimus Dorsi to Rotator Cuff Transfer in Brachial Plexus Birth Injury
Background Brachial plexus birth injury results in deficits in strength and motion, occasionally requiring surgery to restore power to the deficient external rotators of the shoulder in these patients. This is a retrospective analysis of the long-term results of an isolated latissimus dorsi…

Cerebral Changes Following Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Treated with Guided Plasticity: A Prospective, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study
Background Compression neuropathy, such as carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), results in changed afferent nerve signaling, which may result in changes in somatosensory brain areas. The purpose of this study was to assess cerebral changes following unilateral CTS and to assess short-term and long-term…
