Brachial plexus injuries can result from trauma, such as road accidents, sports injuries, or birth-related complications. In severe cases, surgical intervention is required to restore nerve function. Brachial plexus surgery involves intricate microsurgical techniques to repair, reconstruct, or transfer nerves to regain movement and sensation. The type of procedure depends on the severity and location of the nerve damage.
Replacing the damaged segment of the nerve with a healthy nerve graft.
Redirecting a functioning nerve from another part of the body to restore movement.
Transplanting muscles with intact nerve supply to improve function in severely damaged cases.
A comprehensive post-surgical rehabilitation plan to maximize recovery and functionality.
Early consultation is crucial as nerve recovery is time-sensitive. Delayed treatment can reduce the chances of regaining full functionality.
Brachial plexus surgery aims to restore movement and sensation in the arm affected by nerve injury. Depending on the severity, the procedure may involve nerve grafting, nerve transfers, or muscle reinnervation. Our goal is to help you regain function and improve your quality of life with a personalized treatment plan.
Recovery varies for each patient. While many people regain significant function, the extent of improvement depends on factors like the severity of the injury, the timing of surgery, and post-operative rehabilitation. Our team will guide you through the process and set realistic expectations.
The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the surgery. Some discomfort is expected during recovery, but pain management options will be provided to keep you comfortable.
Recovery can take several months to a year, depending on the complexity of the procedure and how well nerves regenerate. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in regaining strength and mobility.
Early evaluation is key. If there is no significant improvement in nerve function after a few months of observation, surgery may be recommended. In some cases, immediate intervention is necessary for the best outcomes.
Yes, physical therapy is essential for a successful recovery. It helps strengthen muscles, improve coordination, and maximize the results of the surgery. Our team will design a rehabilitation plan tailored to your needs.
