Question about sugeries/procedures done
Posted: Mar 13, 2007 12:05 AM Reply


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

My operation was as followed Neurotization of suprascapular nerve with spinal accessory nerve and neurotization of left musculocutaneous nerve with 4th and 5th intercostal nerve. That was done on Dec 1st ,2006 so far I have been getting different types of feelings but no movement. I had avulsed all 5 nerve roots C5-T1. June 10th, 2006 is when I got hurt.

Becky,

I just sent your email address a pdf file outlining specifically what was done for John by Mayo, and his results. (sorry - I referred to you in the email as 'Erin').

Take care,

Ellen

Thanks Guys! This will be very helpful info
