Brachial plexus (BP) injury during labor is called obstetric brachial palsy (OBP). It is an abnormality that occurs in the upper extremity of the body due to excessive stretching of the neural roots of the BP.

Abstract Objective To evaluate elbow flexion in children with obstetric brachial plexus paralysis submitted to Oberlin transfer. Methods Retrospective study with 11 patients affected by paralysis due to labor who did not present spontaneous recovery from elbow flexion until 12 months of life, operated ...
Abstract Obstetric brachial plexus palsy is a rather common injury in newborns, caused by traction to the brachial plexus during labor. In this context, with the present systematic review, we aimed to explore the use of nerve graft and nerve transfer as procedures to improve elbow flexion in children wit...
ABSTRACT Objective: To compare the upper limb function and quality of life between children with neonatal brachial plexus palsy and controls with unaffected brachial plexus (typical children). Methods: Twenty-four children with neonatal brachial plexus palsy and 24 typical ones were evaluated, both g...
ABSTRACT Objective To study the anatomy of the brachial plexus in fetuses and to evaluate differences in morphology during evolution, or to find anatomical situations that can be identified as the cause of obstetric paralysis. Methods Nine fetuses (12 to 30 weeks of gestation) stored in formalin were...
