Abstract
Introduction Upper part brachial plexus injuries result in paralysis of Biceps and inability of active elbow flexion. If repair of damaged nerves proves to be impossible, reconstruction surgery will be indicated. Oberlin procedure is a reconstructive method for restoration of elbow flexion in which, posteromedial fascicle of ulnar nerve is transferred to the motor nerve of Biceps. In this article, we evaluated the results of this procedure in 10 patients in whom treatment was performed relatively late.
