Secondary operations for brachial plexus palsy significantly improve shoulder function and stability. Surgical interventions like trapezius transfer and shoulder arthrodesis lead to better patient outcomes and satisfaction.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Neurology
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Context:

  • Brachial plexus injuries often result in significant shoulder muscle paralysis.
  • Restoring shoulder function and stability is crucial for patient recovery and quality of life.

Purpose:

  • To present an integrated therapeutic concept for managing shoulder dysfunction following brachial plexus lesions.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of surgical interventions including shoulder arthrodesis, trapezius transfer, and rotation osteotomy.

Summary:

  • Shoulder arthrodesis improved abduction and forward flexion, with 83.3% patient satisfaction.
  • Trapezius transfer enhanced abduction and forward flexion, achieving 92.6% stability and 90.7% subjective satisfaction.
  • Rotation osteotomy corrected external rotation deficits, with all patients satisfied.

Impact:

  • Surgical interventions can effectively restore shoulder function and stability in patients with brachial plexus palsy.
  • Individualized surgical approaches based on paralysis patterns lead to improved functional outcomes and patient satisfaction.
