Patient's question:
A newborn baby was discovered to be unable to bend the right hand a week after birth and could only slightly lift it. It can make a fist. The possibility of brachial plexus nerve damage and severe nerve injury is considered. Will this interfere with the child's future activities? Will the right hand collapse?Doctor's answer:
Based on the information you provided, I speculate about the situation you mentioned. If it's just a mild injury, it's important to focus on treatment and recovery. The treatment should be based on nerve nutrition drugs, rehabilitation therapy, and limb function exercises. It's also possible that it could be a brachial plexus nerve injury. If it recovers completely, there may not be significant aftereffects. However, if it doesn't recover completely, there might be a possibility of right-sided limb paralysis.
