Selective Contralateral C7 Transfer in Posttraumatic Brachial Plexus Injuries: A Report of 56 Cases

Abstract

Brachial plexus root avulsions, long considered to be irreparable, are by no means unreconstructable. The selective contralateral C7 transfer appears to be a safe procedure, and it can be successfully applied for simultaneous reconstruction of several different nerves and/or for neurotization of future free muscle transfers.
