Benefit from Brachial Plexus Surgery
With this surgery, the normal functioning of the shoulder, hands and arms can be restored. Estimating the rate of spontaneous recovery is very difficult because the spectrum of nerve injuries is very broad. The recovery would depend on the severity and the type of injury. Some treatments that the surgeon would recommend for brachial plexus injury are muscle transfer, nerve transfer and nerve grafting. These procedures can be easily undergone at reputable plastic surgery facilities. The treatment would be done as per the injury and condition.
Patients, who are having Erb's Palsy, would be provided the Erb's palsy treatment. This is a disorder that results from nerve injury. Varying amounts of impairment are caused with this disorder.

The patients may benefit from brachial plexus treatment if nerve compression is the main cause of the symptoms.
