The renewal of interest in brachial plexus surgery has been led by the success of microsurgical techniques in other peripheral nerve repairs. The results in adults remain poor, but in obstetrical palsy the regenerative capacity of babies allows for dramatic recovery after nerve repair or reconstruction.

Obstetrical brachial plexus injuries represent a unique group with similar aetiology, age and prognosis.
