ABSTRACT The treatment of complete post-traumatic brachial plexus palsy resulting in a flail shoulder and upper extremity remains a challenge to peripheral nerve surgeons. The option of upper limb amputation is controversial and scarcely discussed in the literature. We believe that elective amputation still has a role in the treatment of select cases. The pros and cons of the procedure should be intensely discussed with the patient by a multidisciplinary team. Better outcomes are usually achieved in active patients who strongly advocate for the procedure.

Surgical Exploration

♦ The congenital brachial plexus palsy is significantly different from the adult injury♦ The mechanism of injury is invariably traction♦ Classifying the lesion at 1–2 weeks of age aids with prognosis and management♦ Surgical exploration and repair is indicated early in selected cases♦ Good shoulder function is essential for a useful upper limb♦ Recovery of hand function is slow and may continue until age 5 years.

Surveillance Unit

Seventy-four children with obstetric brachial plexus palsy registered with the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit were prospectively followed for a minimum of 2 years. Thirty-nine (52.7%) spontaneously recovered to normal or nearly normal levels and a further 29 (39.3%) regained good function in the upper limb. The most important secondary deformity involved the gleno-humeral joint and 20 patients (27%) needed surgical correction. Two more children await operation for shoulder deformity. The brachial plexus was explored in nine patients (12.2%) and repaired in seven.
