Brachial plexus birth injuries: a multi-speciality approach. Commentary and opinions.

The management of brachial plexus birth injuries (BPBI) remains controversial and ever evolving. In this article, studies are examined to provide further insight into the ongoing controversies and debates surrounding BPBI. The articles are diverse and examine the topics of aetiology, demographics, reliability versus accuracy of measurements and surgical management. The management of BPBI may differ depending on resources. Outcome measures may also vary depending on geography. Future research should focus on developing consensus-validated measures and reproducible surgical techniques. These can then guide further population-based research and provide guidelines to minimize the incidence of BPBI.
