Brachial
Plexus
There is a ray of hope for all victims of accident (mainly road
accidents) who have lost function in their upper limbs due to
internal nerve damage. Surgery can help restore some function
in the paralyzed upper limb when the nerves to that limb have
been injured. Results depend on the severity of the injury and
may vary from person to person. |

Did
you know that,
- Nerves can
be internally damaged (or completely broken) without any visible
external physical injury.
- Nerve
injuries inevitably produce paralyses of their functions
- These
functions quite often do not recover on their own.
- Physiotherapy
cannot restore damaged nerves.
- Nerve
reconstruction surgery offers the only hope of restoration of
some of the lost functions in cases where spontaneous recovery
does not occur.
- Results
depend upon the severity of the injury, age of the patient and
the delay after the accident.
- Results
are always better when the surgery is performed at an earlier
stage.
