Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injuries by Rahul K Nath

Obstetric Brachial Plexus Injuries by Rahul K Nath

This book is a personal account of the treatment options for brachial plexus injuries sustained by babies at birth. The author's experience with several thousand such patients has led to the diagnostic and therapeutic methods detailed in the book. These evidence-based practices are taken from the author's practice and from the scientific literature. Several new findings not previously described are presented, and techniques to treat these problems are shown. Illustrations and pictures are designed to improve understanding of the concepts underlying treatment options as well as the underlying pathologies. The book is divided into sections covering the initial nerve injury, and the physiological and anatomical responses of the muscles and bone to the nerve injury. A separate section is devoted to clinical methods of diagnosing common as well as unusual problems that occur. Opposite each illustrated section on diagnosis is a treatment panel that describes the author's personal approach to the management of various functional deficits. Dr. Nath's book is written for a wide audience and is an introduction to a fascinating and often misunderstood field of medicine. The level of writing is suitable for health care professionals or families interested in knowing more about the injury as well as their treatment options.
