Keywords:
brachial plexus, avulsion intradural, C7 primary trunk, contralateral orthotopic neuroticismAbstract
Results of first 7 operations on second trunks of plexis brachialis neurotization with С7 first trunk from patient’s opposite (healthy) side.
Operation was done only in case of total plexus brachialis injury with verified С5, С6, С7, С8, Th1, roots interruption with clearly defined motor, trophic dysfunctions, dysaesthesia and pain syndrome.
Operative technique is reported in detail and evaluation of its results in 4 patients in 18th-month period is done.
