Abstract

With C7-T1 brachial plexus injuries, finger motion is absent while shoulder, elbow and wrist function are largely preserved. Previously, we have reconstructed finger flexion by transferring the brachialis muscle to the flexor digitorum profundus and flexor pollicis longus; and we have restored extension of thumb and finger by transferring the motor nerve to the supinator to the posterior interosseous nerve, which is only feasible in fresh injuries. We describe the transfer of the supinator muscle to the extensor pollicis brevis to reanimate thumb extension in patients with long standing C7-T1 brachial plexus palsy.
