Description: Brachial plexus injuries continue to present significant challenges for surgeons tasked with treating patients.

Brachial plexus injuries continue to present significant challenges for surgeons tasked with treating patients. Therefore, it is imperative to possess a profound understanding of the intricate anatomy governing upper limb function, as well as a comprehensive grasp of potential treatment options that can optimize the restoration of upper limb functionality.
In instances where all preoperative assessments point towards eventual preganglionic lesions, the surgical option of nerve transfer becomes a vital consideration. These transfer possibilities can be categorized into two distinct categories: intraplexus and extraplexus transfers.
This webinar has a primary objective of providing a comprehensive overview of the nerve transfer options that are presently employed to facilitate the restoration of shoulder external rotation. Also delve into the contralateral C7 nerve transfer technique. Join to gain deeper insights into these critical aspects of brachial plexus injury management.
