Introduction: Obstetric brachial plexus palsy (OBPP) affects approximately 0.4-4 out of every 1000 newborns, with significant implications for the functionality of the affected limb, particularly in elbow flexion. This work reviews the different treatment modalities and their relative efficacies for addressing elbow flexion contracture associated with OBPP.
Methods: A systematic review of the literature was conducted, including thirteen articles selected from PubMed and Scopus databases. The selected studies covered both surgical and orthopedic treatment approaches. The surgical approaches were based on anterior elbow release in some cases with olecranon resection; humeral rotatory osteotomy, and elbow arthrodiastasis. The orthopedic treatment utilized serial casts and splints, dynamic orthoses, and Botulinum Toxin injections. Results were compared in terms of improvement in the range of motion (ROM) and flexion strength of the joint pre and post-intervention.
Results: Non-surgical treatments, such as serial casting and dynamic orthoses, showed temporary improvements in the ROM of elbow extension. However, these improvements were not always lasting, indicating the need for repeated or more invasive interventions in some cases. On the other hand, surgical techniques demonstrated more significant and lasting improvements in ROM, although full elbow functionality was not achieved in most cases.
Discussion: Findings suggest that while non-surgical treatments may be suitable for less severe cases, surgical interventions may be necessary to substantially improve the quality of life in patients with more severe contractures. The choice of treatment should consider the severity of the contracture, patient expectations, and their ability to participate in postoperative treatment and rehabilitation.
Conclusion: Although surgical treatments offer more consistent and lasting improvements, the need to optimize non-surgical approaches remains crucial, especially for managing less severe cases in a less invasive manner. Future studies should focus on directly comparing the different treatment modalities and evaluating long-term patient satisfaction to determine the real impact of the interventions.
