The pathophysiology of elbow flexion contracture (EFC) in obstetrical brachial plexus injury (OBPI) is not established. In basic science models, neonatal denervation leads to impaired muscle growth. In clinical studies, diminished growth is correlate

Obstetrical brachial plexus injury (OBPI) results from lateral torsion to the neck or direct traction to the upper extremity during birth. Approximately 1.6 to 2.9 per 1000 infants sustain an OBPI (1), with risk factors including birth weight >4000 g

Object In the literature, the best recommendations are imprecise as to the timing and selection of infants with obstetrical brachial plexus injury (OBPI) for surgical intervention. There is a gray zone (GZ) in which the decision as to the benefits an

Following obstetrical brachial plexus injury, infants are unable to learn specific patterns of movement due to the disruption of neural pathways. Even with successful reinnervation (spontaneously or post surgical reconstruction), function can be subo
