Results of clinical validation of a new method of brachial plexus trunk distraction after neuroraphy

Abstract

The paper describes the results of clinical testing of an apparatus for dosed traction of brachial plexus trunks. It is shown that in the presence of a 5 cm diastasis, it is possible to connect the nerve fragments and perform neurorhaphy without tension by bringing the shoulder to the head and bring the shoulder to the physiological position two and a half months after the reconstructive surgery.
