When was your Brachial Plexus Injury Clinic established? 2000 Identify what specialties related to brachial plexus injuries are represented by practitioners working in your clinic including physical/occupational therapists, if any. Plastic and hand surgeon, neurosurgeon, and physical/occupational therapy. What do you/your clinic specialize in treating? Obstetrical and traumatic brachial plexus injuries, both pediatric and adult. Indicate the total number of brachial plexus patients you/your clinic has evaluated since your establishment: Number of children (Obstetrical brachial plexus injuries): 850 Number of children (Trauma or other brachial plexus injuries): 5 Number of adults (Obstetrical brachial plexus injuries): 30 Number of adults (Trauma or other brachial plexus injuries): 70 State your philosophy regarding evaluation, referral and treatment of obstetrical brachial plexus injuries in children. Our strategy is published in Seminars in Plastic Surgery, 2004 18(4): 285-300. State you/your clinic philosophy regarding evaluation, referral and treatment of trauma or other brachial plexus injuries in children Mainly identical to the last question. Early exploration (within 3 months post trauma). State you/your clinic philosophy regarding evaluation, referral and treatment of obstetrical brachial plexus injuries in adults. Counsel mostly, few surgical indications (release of shoulder contractures). State you/your clinic philosophy regarding evaluation, referral and treatment of traumatic brachial plexus injuries in adults. They come late (usually more than 1 year post trauma). I do assessment and surgical exploration if functional improvement is expected. State your philosophy regarding pain management and brachial plexus injuries. Referral to neurosurgeons/pain clinic. Indicate research efforts (include dates please) conducted by you specific to brachial plexus injuries. Neuropathology movement analysis. Indicate any other facts that you feel would help families and individuals understand your practice/clinic.
