Triceps Brachii Reinnervation in Primary Reconstruction of the Adult Brachial Plexus: Experience in 25 Cases

摘要

Background Elbow flexion and shoulder abduction are the primary goals in brachial plexus surgery; however, reinnervation of the triceps is also an objective to be considered, as restoration of elbow extension improves the stabilization of the elbow and can provide a more powerful grasp. This study aims to demonstrate the author’s experience with restoration of elbow extension function in cases of brachial plexus surgery in adults.
