Miami Children's Hospital Performs First Nerve Repair Surgery Using Avance ...

The surgery was performed by Dr. John A. I.

Brachial plexus injuries may occur if an infant's neck is excessively stretched during birth or by traumatic injury. If left untreated, brachial plexus birth injuries can have lifelong consequences including paralysis or limited movement, numbness and weakness in the shoulder, arm, hand and fingers.
