Passive shoulder mobility and active shoulder external rotation recovery in upper‐trunk brachial plexus birth injuries after nerve repair
Key Points
This study investigates the relationship between passive shoulder mobility and active external rotation recovery after nerve surgery in children with upper-trunk brachial plexus birth injuries.
Evaluate passive shoulder mobility in children post-nerve repair
Assess active external rotation recovery
Analyze the correlation between passive mobility and active rotation outcomes
Passive external rotation does not limit restoration of active external rotation
Children show variations in active rotation recovery despite similar passive mobility
Abstract
Passive external rotation is not the explanatory limiting factor in the restoration of active external rotation after nerve surgery in children with upper-trunk BPBI.
