Erbs Palsy/Brachial Plexus Palsy that does not spontaneously heal can require exercise, therapy, and possibly surgery. In 80 percent of the babies born with Brachial Plexus Palsy, recovery occurs without surgical intervention. Often times, though, the function of a child's arm can benefit from surgical procedures. Researchers find surgery most effective in children between the ages of 5 and 12 months that suffer from brachial plexus palsy. The surgery has been less effective in children over the age of one. The determination of whether or not to perform surgery depends on the individual child with brachial plexus palsy. The brachial plexus palsy surgical procedure requires a pediatric neurosurgeon, a special anesthesia, an operating microscope, monitoring equipment, and specialists to expose and identify each of the nerves of the brachial plexus and surrounding structures. Most children with brachial plexus palsy injury have damage to multiple nerves so more than one procedure must be performed. Younger children recover faster from brachial plexus palsy surgery. Injuries that involve nerves below the elbow have a lower rate of improvement because of the location of the nerves and the distance that they need to regenerate. A physical therapist may also work with children suffering from Brachial Plexus Palsy to help increase range of movement. Performing daily exercise to keep the muscle and joints limber and moving may also help Brachial Plexus Palsy, and may prevent the joints from freezing in place. If the child with brachial plexus palsy does not exercise and use the muscles in the arm and hand, the muscles will remain weak and may not grow normally. This may also lead to additional tightness in the muscles and joints.

THE VOTE 2004 WEST VIRGINIA NEWS OHIO NEWS KENTUCKY NEWS ... PERSONALITIES W E B C A M S FIXING SHOULDER PARALYSIS FOR KIDS It's more common than you think: big babies who get stuck coming down the birth canal. The result can end in a condition that leaves newborns with restricted or no movement of a shoulder and arm. Here is one young man who was helped by a new type of surgery. Transcript of the story Healthy For Life Extra extra information about the story For More Information where to go for help TRANSCRIPT RJ happily grabs the sticker, but that simple movement wasn't always so easy. During his journey down the birth canal, RJ suffered an injury to his brachial plexus nerve, which runs from the neck to the arm and controls arm and shoulder movement. Russell Wren RJ's father "Right away, we knew because his arm wasn't working. It was limp." Two-thirds of children with brachial plexus palsy recover on their own. RJ showed some improvement, but therapy and surgery were not enough. Mary Wren RJ's mother "It was quite a while before he was even able to lift his arm up. It just kind of hung on his side, and if we wanted a hug, we kind of had to pick it up and put it around our necks."

71. DEFENDING THE BRACHIAL PLEXUS INJURY 9. Robert B. Gherman et al., brachial plexus palsy An In Utero Injury?,180 Am. J. of Obstetrics Gynecology 130307 (No. 5, May 1999). 10. http://www.thefederation.org/documents/Boisseau-W03.htm

Defending the Brachial Plexus Injury Eldon L. Boisseau I. Introduction In the world of medical malpractice defense, the brachial plexus injury is a defensible case. All available statistics indicate that even with today’s advanced technology and state of the art medicine, it is not reasonable to expect a physician to know, prior to the actual birth, a shoulder dystocia will occur, much less a brachial plexus injury. If one does not know, or even reasonably anticipate that it will occur, how can that physician reasonably prevent it from happening? Nevertheless, obstetricians and hospitals are sued for this injury with some frequency, and there are significant verdicts against those defendants in this matter. So, how does one best approach this type of case, and give the client the best opportunity to win? In labor and delivery litigation we see numerous injuries to newborns. Many times these injuries cause cerebral palsy or mental deprivation, both of which are often illusory in nature. The shoulder dystocia, however, is clearly identifiable, with a brachial plexus injury often diagnosed later.

Tuesday, 5 November 2002 - 5:06 PM This presentation is part of : 4:15pm - 5:30pm: Hand/Upper Extremity Papers Predicting Outcome in Obstetrical Brachial Plexus Palsy Nancy M. de Kleer, MD , Christine Curtis, PT, MSc, Derek Stephens, MSc, and Howard M. Clarke, MD, PhD. Introduction: The purpose of this study is to identify factors at an early age which reliably predict outcome in cases of obstetrical brachial plexus injury. Currently, lack of spontaneous recovery of elbow flexion at three months of age is an indication for surgery in centres around the world. This has not been scientifically evaluated and currently no gold standard exists to predict which children will improve with conservative management and which children will benefit from surgery. Methods: Six hundred and four children assessed at The Hospital for Sick Children brachial plexus clinic over the last ten years were evaluated prospectively in a retrospective review. Seventy nine children, all of whom underwent a brachial plexus physical exam at three months of age and had a minimum follow up of two years were analyzed in this study. Four test scores, based on various combinations of validated physical examination maneuvers, were developed and calculated for children at their three month physical examination. One of the test scores was elbow flexion alone. The three month physical examination test scores were analyzed with respect to functional outcome. The ability of test scores to predict outcome was analyzed with logistic regression, receiver operating characteristic curves and tree based analysis.

74. Brachial Plexus Injury / Erb's Palsy Information about the condition and of surgical procedure to treat it. http://www.bcm.tmc.edu/pednsurg/disorder/brachial.htm

Brachial Plexus Injury / Erb's Palsy The surgical procedure requires special anesthesia, an operating microscope, sophisticated electropysiological monitoring equipment and numerous specialists in order to meticulously expose and identify each of the nerves of the brachial plexus and the surrounding structures. Most children with a brachial plexus injury have damage to multiple nerves and more than one procedure must be performed. Recovery of some function can be expected within four months of surgery, with younger children recovering at a faster rate. Of those who undergo surgery, recovery, in the appropriate time frame, is 85-90% of full unction o the aected muscle groups in the upper extremities above the elbow. Injuries involving nerves below the elbow have a lower rate of improvement (approximately 50-60%) due to the locations of these nerves and the distance needed for regeneration. No child who has been treated at the TCH Brachial Plexus Clinic has ever been made worse. For those infants unlikely to have any functional recovery if managed conservatively, brachial plexus surgery can make the difference between a normal life and one burdened with significant disability, reduced life options, and increased medical expenses.
