Abstract

A careful analysis of the published literature, however, fails to offer a clear panorama of the functional results of reconstruction. Over the years, opinions concerning the treatment of lesions of the brachial plexus have changed. The first report of successful surgery on a traction injury of the brachial plexus was reported in 1900, by Thoburn [1] but the initial enthusiasm was replaced with pessimism because of the poor subsequent results [2].
