Restoration of elbow flexion in patient with prolonged incomplete brachial plexus injury treated with bipolar latissimus dorsi muscle transfer: A case report

Following a late brachial plexus injury, the utilization of a bipolar latissimus dorsi muscle flap has demonstrated an exceptional outcome in the context of elbow reconstruction. The preoperative evaluation of donor muscle strength will serve as a reliable indicator for predicting a favorable postoperative result.
