Abstract

Brachial plexus neuropathy can cause progressive pain and disability in patients with breast cancer. Metastatic spread and radiation injury are the most common causes in these patients. We report a case of partial ulnar nerve transfer to the nerve to the biceps muscle to restore elbow flexion in a patient with combined radiation-induced and metastatic brachial plexopathy.
