The orthopedic surgeons participating in our brachial plexus treatment program provide a range of clinical and surgical services. With subspecialty fellowship training in pediatric orthopedic surgery, hand surgery, and peripheral nerve surgery, we are happy to offer the full spectrum of procedures available to infants, children, and adolescents with brachial plexus injuries. These procedures include brachial plexus exploration, nerve grafting, nerve transfers, tendon transfers, joint releases, osteotomies, joint fusions, and muscle transfers. If your child would benefit from surgery, Akron Children’s Hospital has a dedicated team of pediatric anesthesiologists, operative staff, and inpatient staff including Child Life services to make sure your child is as comfortable and well-cared for as possible.
