Abstract
Elbow flexion plays a key role in the global function of the upper extremity. In the case of unilateral complete brachial plexus lesion, restoration of elbow flexion will dramatically increase the patient's regaining of bimanual prehension. Furthermore, depending on the type of reconstruction, stability of the glenohumeral joint, as well as some supination function of the forearm, can be restored to varying degrees simultaneously. Depending on the level of brachial plexus lesion and/or reinnervation, different reconstructive procedures are available. In order to select the best treatment option for the patient, it is necessary to know the extent of the lesion of the brachial plexus and/or ventral upper arm muscles.
