Twenty-three patients with total complete brachial plexus injuries were reviewed an average of 5.5 years from the time of injury. Three different treatment approaches were used; no surgery (four), above-elbow amputation alone (14), and shoulder arthrodesis combined with above-elbow amputation (five). Return to gainful employment and prosthetic wearing habits were best achieved with early (within the first year) above-elbow amputation alone. There seemed little to recommend arthrodesis of the shoulder combined with above elbow amputation.
对23例全臂丛神经完全损伤患者进行了回顾性研究，平均随访时间为受伤后5.5年。采用了三种不同的治疗方法：未手术（4例）、单纯肘关节以上截肢（14例）、肩关节融合术联合肘关节以上截肢（5例）。早期（第一年以内）单纯肘关节以上截肢在恢复有报酬工作和假肢佩戴习惯方面效果最佳。肩关节融合术联合肘关节以上截肢似乎没有什么可取之处。
