- Abstract
The article discusses the importance of immobilisation of elbow and shoulder in patients. It mentions the free functioning muscle transfers (FFMTs), a major loss of the upper limb musculature leading to a functional deficit. It examines the advantages of the immobilisation during the post-operative period of the patient. It also signifies the use of sling for global brachial plexus palsies with FMMTs.
