Brachial plexus injuries with intact yet flail limb presents
with problems of persistent neuropathic pain and recurrent
shoulder dislocations, that render the flail limb a damn
nuisance. As treating surgeons, we are faced with the
dilemma of offering treatment options, bearing in mind the
patient’s functional status and expectations. We present a
case of a 55-year old housewife with complete brachial
plexus injury begging for surgical amputation of her flail
limb, 6 years post-injury. Here we discuss the outcome of
transhumeral amputation and the possibility of offering early
rather than delayed amputations in this group of patients.

3.Neurotization from spinal accessory nerve to the musculo-cutaneous nerve for restoration of elbow flexion in brachial plexus injuries
Ho Chi Minh city Medical Association 2005;10(4):195-202
From January 2000 to March 2004, 57 patients (53 males, 4 females, aged between 15 and 60 years old) with upper root injuries or complete brachial plexus injuries were surgical treated by neurotization from spinal accessory nerve to the musculo-cutaneous nerve for restoration of elbow flexion in the Trauma and Orthopedics Hospital of HoChiMinh city. Following-up lasted 12-24 months. The results: good result in restoration of elbow flexion MRC3 or more in 72% and the earliest MRC3 gained time was 8 months, the time became to zoom in 2 muscle tips was 6 months. The early neurotization surgery and young people were important factors for good results. Although a less re-examination patients, recovery results were good. It solved somewhat psychological complex for patients

Study on the branchial plexus block by perivascular technique via coracoid-axillary. Vn J Med Phar Info 2000 Feb; (2): 32-36:(CIMSI)
Brachial Plexus; methods
23 Vietnamese adult cadavers were analyzed to study the anatomy of the brachial plexus in the axilla at the corticoid process level (43 times in the axially region). Coracoid-axially technique was performed on 50 Vietnamese adult patients undergoing various types of surgical procedures on the upper extremely. The results of the study confirmed: The coracoid process was one of the suitable anatomical marks in brachial plexus block by the axially perivascular technique.

Background & Objective: Although the clinical manifestations and outcomes of neuralgic amyotrophy
have been previously described, some controversies remain. Thus, we evaluated clinical manifestations
and outcomes of patients with neuralgic amyotrophy. Methods: We evaluated the clinical and
electrodiagnostic data, and the outcomes, of 32 patients with neuralgic amyotrophy.Of the 32 patients,
26 were followed-up for one year after onset of the disease.Results:The initial symptoms were pain
(50.0%), pain with weakness (21.9%), other sensory symptoms without weakness (6.3%), and painless
weakness or atrophy (21.9%). The commonly involved nerves were the median (75.0%), radial (68.8%),
suprascapular (50.0%), ulnar (50.0%), axillary (46.9%), and musculocutaneous (40.6%) nerves. The
initial symptoms were not associated with nerve involvement. Of all patients, 59% recovered fully,
16% had residual mild weakness without functional disability, and 6% experienced persistent severe
weakness and were unable to return to work. Some patients were not evaluated because they were
lost to follow-up.
Conclusions: Painless weakness as an initial symptom of neuralgic amyotrophy may be more common
than previously noted. Of all patients, 75% enjoyed favorable outcomes by one year after disease onset.
These results will be useful when planning treatment strategies and will deepen our understanding of
prognosis of neuralgic amyotrophy.

Shoulder arthroscopy is widely used through the development of arthroscopic technique and equipment but some complications have been reported that are related to the complexity of technique and the long duration time of operation. Brachial plexus injury, as a complication of arthroscopic Bankart repair, is rare, but remains a serious sequelae. We performed the neurorrhaphy and neurolysis of brachial plexus and showed relatively good functional outcome after 2 years.
