Clinical and Functional Evaluation of Nerve Transfer in Patients with Traumatic Brachial Plexus Injury
Muhammad Abdurrahman Al Haraani, Heri Suroto, Lydia Arfianti
Abstract
Background : Traumatic Brachial Plexus Injury (TBPI) is an injury to the peripheral nerves in the neck and
shoulder area, which lead to the paralysis of the shoulder, elbow, wrist, and fingers muscles. The previous
investigation showed that TBPI affects various aspects of a patient's life such as the permanent loss of
function in daily activities and work. The reconstruction of the nerve on the brachial plexus is to restore
clinical function and achieve optimal quality of life. Therefore, this study aims to evaluate the relationship
between the time to surgery and the clinical as well as the functional outcomes of patients with TBPI after
nerve transfer surgery
