Currently, no published, validated patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures of health-related quality of life (HRQOL) exist for use with neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP). NBPP is a debilitating condition that occurs during the perinatal period, resulting in paralysis/paresis and loss of sensation in the affected arm. Commonly used NBPP measures are not comprehensive and do not fully account for...
A motorcyclist sustained multiple-system trauma, including a left buttock hematoma requiring decompression and evacuation. Presentation for severe hip pain and lower extremity weakness was delayed. Imaging revealed myositis ossificans traumatica compressing the sciatic nerve in the buttock. The patient underwent sciatic nerve decompression with resection of heterotopic calcification, resulting in...
Children with neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP) are often prescribed shoulder range of motion (ROM) exercises; however, the extent and timing of exercise implementation remains controversial in the context of shoulder joint integrity. The association of ROM exercises to delayed posterior shoulder subluxation (PSS) is unknown.To determine prevalence of PSS in children with NBPP who began full passive...
Local compression by a mass lesion is a potential cause of posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) palsy. Reported cases of PIN pathology do not include inflammatory myofibroblastic pseudotumor. We report the case of a 44-year-old woman with a 3-month history of progressive weakness of the left finger extensors. Sonographic imaging identified a mass compressing the PIN, and histologic examination of the...
To investigate the impact of a video-based educational resource on home exercise compliance among caregivers of children with neonatal brachial plexus palsy (NBPP). Retrospective analysis of self-reported caregiver home exercise habits and resultant shoulder range of motion (ROM) and biceps power in patients with NBPP. Home-based exercise program. Adult caregivers of children with NBPP followed...
