Trapezius Transfer In Traumatic Brachial Plexus Palsy

Prof. Dr. V. Ramadevi, Dr. Ashik Ahamed

Abstract :

Traumatic achial plexus injuries can cause total or partial loss of function of the upper limb. The loss of functional movements in the shoulder impairs the function of the entire upper limb even if there is functional movement in other joints like the elbow, wrist, and fingers. Various procedures like tendon transfers, neurotisation or arthrodesis are available to improve the function of the shoulder. The aim of this study is to evaluate the results of the trapezius transfer for reconstruction of shoulder motion in adult patients with longstanding traumatic achial plexus injuries.
