Indications and results of brachial plexus surgery in obstetrical palsy

Orthop Clin North Am. 1988 Jan;19(1):91-105.

Abstract

This article presents the first series with long-term results of a large number of patients. As a result, it is difficult to compare these results with anything but spontaneous recovery. In most cases, the end result after surgical treatment will be better than spontaneous recovery.
