Abstract
Traumatic brachial plexus injuries are frequents, especially after high-velocity accidents. Different surgical treatments are used: nerve transfer or nerve graft, tendon transfer or muscle transfer, and arthrodesis. In the literatures, there are different approaches for the reconstructive surgical techniques of the traumatic brachial plexus injuries depending on the experienced surgical team. A case with bilateral non-symmetrical traumatic brachial plexus treated with multiple reconstructive surgeries is presented. We made literature reviews and summarized the indications, the advantages and the inconveniences for each surgical method
