Restoring Function After Brachial Plexus and Cervical Spine Injuries

Brachial plexus is the bundle of nerves that exits the cervical spine, passes under the clavicle, and into the arm. Injuries to the brachial plexus must be restored within a limited amount of time or its function becomes irretrievably lost. In this video, Justin Brown, MD, director of the Mass General Paralysis Center, describes a new, game changing nerve transfer strategy that restores full function to the patient’s hand, and applying that same strategy spinal cord injuries.

How did your surgery go

[@leakimnachoeum4032]

Dr. Brown, we miss you so much. You are truly an amazing and caring surgeon. You gave Lekhana Gracie Tor the best gift ( which allows her to use her right arm). We can't wait to see you again in the future.

What happens if a patient has an injury of mechanism such as a fall 6feet or greater head first and the brachial plexus injury is left untreated for ten years and the patient continues to have axial nerve pain? What complications could arise from that? - Very Respectfully HM3 Ahwazi

How are you doing afterwards?

[@Simetra007]

what happens if you were in a car accident, spraining (NOT straining) your neck, and had to be flat for three weeks, but afterwards, there was no PT? And 25-30 years later, the brachial nerves in your cervical spine had become pinched, to the point that you present with what appears to be torn rotater cuff injuries, accompanied by numbness in your hands, and pain in your tricep?
