- Abstract
Brachial plexus lesions have an important deleterious impact on the lives of those affected. One of the main culprits is the precocious manifestation of glenohumeral joint dysplasia whose effects tend to be permanent. The authors produced digital representations of the shoulder joint surfaces of pediatric and adult patients with brachial plexus injuries. Both surfaces were evaluated for congruency with resort to a dedicated software. The data lend numerical support to the empirical clinical observation that the joint surfaces rapidly become incongruent after a brachial plexus lesion. This information seems promising for tailoring nerve and tendon transfers for individual patients.
