Functional Outcomes, Intercostal-to-Musculocutaneous Nerve Transfer, Traumatic Brachial Plexus InjuryAbstract
Background: Traumatic brachial plexus injury (BPI) in adults frequently results in profound upper limb dysfunction, with loss of elbow flexion representing one of the most disabling deficits. Restoration of active elbow flexion is universally considered the primary reconstructive priority because it enables positioning of the hand in space and facilitates
