Patient's question:
The child was born on June 4, 2013, with brachial plexus nerve injury. On July 8, a electromyography (EMG) at Wuhan Tongji Hospital confirmed the brachial plexus nerve injury. Since birth, the child has been receiving physical therapy and rehabilitation at Wuhan Children's Hospital. The arm has strength and resistance, but it can only be raised to a horizontal position and cannot bend the elbow. The recovery has not been ideal. The plan is to go to Shanghai Huashan Hospital in three months. I would like to ask, how much does the surgery cost approximately? Thank you!Doctor's answer:
Currently, special examinations and treatments are not recommended. There is usually a three-month observation period, after which the condition stabilizes. Therefore, examinations at this time are not accurate. Currently, it is recommended to focus on functional exercises. After three months, come back for an examination to determine if surgery is needed and how it should be performed.
