Abstract

»: The incidence of brachial plexus birth injury (BPBI) in the United States is declining and now occurs in <1 per 1,000 births. »: The gold standard for predicting the need for early intervention remains serial examination. »: Early treatment of BPBI with reconstructive surgery requires the ability to perform both interposition nerve grafting and nerve transfers. »: Given the heterogeneity of lesions, the evidence is largely limited to retrospective comparative studies and case series.
