DOI: 10.1007/s00381-017-3492-0
Abstract: PurposeUlnar and median nerve transfers to arm muscles have been used to recover elbow flexion in infants with neonatal brachial plexus palsy, but there is no direct outcome comparison with the classical supraclavicular nerve grafting… read more here.

An X-ray-free method to accurately identify the elbow flexion–extension axis for the placement of a hinged external fixator
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2017 at "International Journal of Computer Assisted Radiology and Surgery"
DOI: 10.1007/s11548-017-1680-8
Abstract: PurposeIdentifying the elbow flexion–extension (F–E) movement axis is important for placing a hinged elbow external fixator. An X-ray fluoroscopy-based method is widely used in clinical practice, exposing the patient and surgeons to high doses of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.jse.2019.12.005
Abstract: BACKGROUND We hypothesized that valgus stress ultrasound would be useful for both identifying medial ulnar collateral ligament (MUCL) tears and assessing the severity of the tears. Hence, we performed valgus stress ultrasound of the elbow… read more here.

Double Fascicular Transfer Using Partially Injured Donor Nerves: Is It Powerful Enough to Restore Elbow Flexion in Acute Brachial Plexus Injuries?
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of reconstructive microsurgery"
DOI: 10.1055/s-0041-1736320
Abstract: BACKGROUND Loss of elbow flexion is a common sequela of acute brachial plexus injuries (BPIs). The Mackinnon/Oberlin-II double fascicular transfer (DFT) is a widely used method to restore this function in acute C5-6 or C5-7… read more here.
