I might be wrong ...but im sure the best results from the c7 have to be done asap within weeks of the trauma.

The nerves have to regrow so far from this op that they die before reaching there target,i suspect 7mths would be too far down the line.

do you know any websites that have information about the c-7 crossover surgery. do you know of any other types of surgery's they are doing to get deltoids back. You have given me great info on this injury and my deltoids not working. Is there a time frame when this crossover surgery should be done is it early on or can they still do the surgery later. thanks Wes

Karlos,
So you think i might to late for this crossover surgery. well that is ok, i still am gaining movement to the arm everyday it is very weak but it is continueing to get stronger so i am heading in the right direction and that is a positive and great feeling. I just continue to work hard at rom and sliding my arm in and out at therapy and refuse to give up or give in. THANKS KARLOS FOR INPUT. Wes
