Brachial Plexus injury in left hand

2019-02-08 10:32:18
My son was not able to move his hand since birth. But after some time about 2 months he got shoulder movement but rest of the hand was still same. Recently he is able to move little bit of elbow as well but wrist and finger movement is still not there after 5 months. Based on doctors seems this is Brachial Plexus and needs surgery. Want to get opinion on do we have an alternate method of getting this treated. If surgery is the way, what's the latest time we should get it done? What is the success rate after surgery? How long will it take to recover after surgery? Thanks in advance.
