Question about sugeries/procedures done

Post by Beckyerin »

I am finishing up an OT clinical in a couple of weeks and I have to do an inservice(give a speech). Anyway since I have a ROBPI I thought it would be good to do my inservice on BPI's, both traumatic and obstetric.

I would be interested in hearing about what (if any) procedures/corrective surgeries/ tendon transfers/muscle transfers ,etc you guys(or your children) have had and what your results were. It would help tremendously
Thanks,
Becky

Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: 28 years old with a right obstetrical brachial plexus injury. 5 surgeries to date with pretty decent results. Last surgery resolved years of pain in my right arm however, I am beginning my journey with overuse in my left arm
