This study reports on 20 children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy who underwent a tendon transfer to reconstruct wrist extension. The mean age at the time of tendon transfer was 8 years. There were seven patients with Erb’s palsy and the remaining 13 had total palsy. The flexor carpi ulnaris was utilized 15 times and the flexor carpi radialis five times. The transferred tendon was sutured to the tendon of the extensor carpi radialis brevis. The result of the transfer was assessed according to a modified Medical Research Council (MRC) muscle grading system. A good result was obtained in 18 patients (modified MRC grade of 4) and a fair result (modified MRC grade of 3) in two. The choice of tendon transfer to reconstruct the wrist drop deformity in various conditions including adult traumatic brachial plexus injuries is discussed.

Shoulder Arthrodesis

The purpose of this study was to assess the outcomes of glenohumeral fusion performed in adulthood in patients with poor recovery after obstetric brachial plexus injury. We reviewed eight patients with obstetrical brachial plexus injury who had undergone shoulder arthrodesis. The mean age was 28 years (range 16 to 55). All of the patients had active periscapular and elbow flexor muscles. At an average follow-up of 20 months, the active range of abduction and external rotation of the affected shoulder was 67° (range 50° to 85°) and 21° (range 0° to 40°), respectively. All of the patients were satisfied with the outcome of the intervention. Fusion was obtained between 3 and 6 months, and none of the patients experienced residual pain. Shoulder fusion improved the active shoulder abduction and external rotation in adults with residual obstetrical brachial plexus paralysis. Level of evidence: IV
