“…Since this head has only one branch, complete muscle reinnervation is possible with a single transfer (Bertelli et al., 2007). From a functional point of view, this head is the most used in daily activities when the shoulder has less than 90° of flexion (Richard et al., 2022). Moreover if elbow flexion reconstruction fails, a reinnervated triceps tendon transfer can be used to restore elbow flexion (Echalier et al., 2023).…”

Nerve grafting, tendon transfer and joint fusion are routinely used to improve the upper limb function in patients with brachial plexus palsies. Newer techniques have been developed that provide additional options for reconstruction. Nerve transfer is a tool for restoring upper limb function in total root avulsions where nerve grafting is not possible. In partial brachial plexus injuries, nerve transfers can greatly improve shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand function. Intraoperative electrical stimulation can be used to diagnose precisely which nerve is injured and to choose which nerve fascicles should be transferred. Finally, measuring the postoperative outcome can improve the evaluation of our techniques. The aim of this article was to present the current techniques used to treat patients with brachial plexus injury.

“…This function can improve the patients' quality of life (Coulet and Chammas, 2022). Three intercostal nerves (if not used for elbow flexion) can be transferred to the long head of the triceps.…”
