Multimodal Management and Triple Nerve Transfer for Optimal Recovery of Shoulder Function Following Neonatal Brachial Plexus Palsy: A Case Report.

Abstract

Neonatal brachial plexus palsy is a complex disorder that requires evaluation of the primary nerve injury and associated sequelae. There is no standardized approach to management, and many treatment options are available. We present a case of Erb palsy with a unique multidisciplinary approach to nonsurgical and surgical management. Inherent in the case is the complexity of decision-making, and we review the literature on treatment options and the rationale for the approach, which resulted in near normal functional recovery.
