Brachial Plexus Injury Explained | Nerve & Muscle Transfer Treatments

Brachial plexus injuries are some of the most complex nerve injuries, often caused by traumatic accidents such as motorcycle crashes or birth-related complications. In this in-depth video, Dr. Ahmet Hamdi Sakarya—plastic, reconstructive, and peripheral nerve surgeon with advanced microsurgery training—explains how these injuries happen, how they’re treated, and what recovery realistically looks like. You’ll learn about: • What the brachial plexus is and how it controls arm, forearm, and hand movement • Traumatic injuries vs obstetric brachial palsy • When nerves are stretched vs ruptured, and how we diagnose the difference • Treatment options: nerve transfers, muscle transplants (gracilis flap), tendon transfers • Timing of surgery (why 3–6 months is critical) • What can and cannot fully recover (elbow flexion vs hand function) • Robotic rehabilitation and physiotherapy's crucial role • Real patient example: restoring elbow function in a 2-year-old after a complete palsy • Common myths about brachial plexus injuries debunked Dr. Sakarya completed his peripheral nerve and reconstructive microsurgery fellowship under pioneers Fu-Chan Wei and David Chuang in Taiwan and has over 10 years of experience in brachial plexus reconstruction. If you or your child is experiencing arm paralysis after trauma or birth injury, early consultation is vital. Treatment is often possible even after delayed presentation. 📩 Contact us → https://careinturkey.com/contact
