ADULT BP INJ.OBSTETRIC BP INJ.  Adult  Infant  Shorter regeneration distance  Stronger potential for regeneration  Greater capacity for brain adaptation

ADULT BP INJ.OBSTETRIC BP INJ.  Goal

ADULT BP INJ.OBSTETRIC BP INJ.  Goal  Elbow flexion  Shoulder stability  Goal  Elbow flexion  Shoulder reanimation

ADULT BP INJ.OBSTETRIC BP INJ.  Goal  Elbow flexion  Shoulder stability  Medial border sensation  Wrist and finger function  Intrinsic function  Goal  Hand function  Elbow flexion  Shoulder reanimation

ADULT BP INJ.OBSTETRIC BP INJ.  Classic nerve transfer .Intra plexus  Avulsion is more common ..  New concept  Classic nerve transfer .Intra plexus  Avulsion is less common ..  New concept

ADULT BP INJ.OBSTETRIC BP INJ.  Classic nerve transfer .Intra plexus  Avulsion is more common .Extra plexus  Pherenic is available  Ulna can be sacrifized  New concept  Classic nerve transfer .Intra plexus  Avulsion is less common .Extra plexus  Pherenic is forbiden  Ulna must be reconstruct  New concept

ADULT BP INJ.OBSTETRIC BP INJ.  Classic nerve transfer  Intra plexus .C5 to upper trunk .C6 to middle trunk .C5/C6 Lateral cord/ Medial cord  ICN+Pherenic adding  New concept  Classic nerve transfer  Intra plexus .C5 to C8T1 .C6 to .Acc. To Sup. Scap  ICN adding  New concept

ADULT BP INJ.OBSTETRIC BP INJ.  Classic nerve transfer .. .. ..  New concept  Becomes more and more popular  Classic nerve transfer .. .. ..  New concept  It is not pronounced  Acc. To Sup. Scap may be exception

Currently in Obstetric BPI classic nerve transfer is the prefer method as Professor Gilbert was described Future ?
