- Injury Description, Date, extent, surgical intervention etc: Nicholas is 11 years old and his birth was complicated by a severe shoulder dystocia resulting in a severe LOBPI. He has had 5 surgeries to date with very little improvement. His left arm has never fully gained any functional use and has been completely flaccid until his last surgery. It now sits at a more natural position, but he is still unable to use his arm. However, his hand function was never limited until after his most recent surgery and is now completely limited due to an ulnar nerve entrapment. He is getting ready to have his 6th surgery in April to free the ulnar nerve from his last surgery. He is an amazing young man who never gives up on his dreams. He is my HERO!!!

Hi,
I live in High Point, North Carolina and have a 4 year old daughter with a LOBPI. She sees Dr. Kozin and has had two surgeries. Where are you located in NC? I would love to be part of a support group. You can email me at

Re: Searching for NC OBPI families
Great to hear from you! I am so glad to hear that there are other families close by. I will contact you both and see if we can put together some kind of support group for us in this area. I look forward to talking to you.
