Abstract

Brachial Plexus Palsy in neonates is a serious disabling problem that still presents nowadays despite great advancement in medicine and obstetrics. Although rapid resolution by spontaneous regeneration has often been noted a few months after delivery, residual deformities sometimes persist due to incomplete recovery. Transfer of teres major and latissimus dorsi on to the rotator cuff was described by Hoffer in 1978. The operation improves abduction and external rotation significantly
