Abstract

Summary

The Brachial Plexus Clinic was established at Texas Children's Hospital in 1987. We have enrolled >500 infants in whom 95% of brachial plexus injuries were caused by birth trauma. Surgical intervention in those infants without improvement by 5 months of age has resulted in significant improvement (p < 0.05) in >85% of the infants followed for > 18 months.
