Preface
On behalf of my co-editors Drs. Yang and McGillicuddy, it is my distinct pleasure to introduce this comprehensive brachial plexus textbook to you. This textbook is a combination of an extensive amount of effort by our colleagues from around the world who have produced the most updated and inclusive chapters to help you take care of your patients with this devastating condition. The uniqueness of this textbook is the collaborative effort among all of the relevant specialties involved in the treatment of this condition, which includes Neurosurgery, Plastic/Hand Surgery, Orthopaedic Surgery, Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Obstetrics and Gynecology, Occupational Physical Therapy and the Legal Profession. Patients with this condition are not simply the territory of a particular specialty, but rather require the input and support of multiple specialties in order to help the patients integrate into society. We included a chapter that discusses the predisposing factors for the neonatal brachial plexus condition that is mired in controversy with regard to the exact cause of this condition. Furthermore, brachial plexus conditions often have legal ramifications; we are privileged to incorporate the expertise of our legal experts who give practical instructions on how the legal system views these conditions and how physicians should approach these conditions in order to give an objective assessment.
The genesis of this textbook is derived from the concept of the Comprehensive Interdisciplinary Brachial Plexus Program at the University of Michigan with clinics that occur on a regular basis to evaluate complex pediatric and adult brachial plexus conditions. This clinic enjoys participation by representatives from all the specialties in a single clinic setting. The interchange of ideas to a consensus on a treatment course is particularly rewarding for us as well as for our patients. There are no egos on this team, and each shares his/her opinions openly to reach the best consensus treatment plan for our patients. It is only through this collaborative approach that we can continue to advance the treatment of complex brachial plexus conditions by incorporating not only expertise from various specialties, but also solicit contributions from various regions of the world. As you can see from the author list, all the contributing authors are noted experts who shared their knowledge from a life-long interest in the care of brachial plexus conditions. Additionally, this textbook contains carefully organized videos, ranging from a detailed description of the anatomy of the brachial plexus to a comprehensive physical examination of muscle deficits associated with this condition. This is a richly illustrated textbook that should be the authoritative textbook in this discipline.
I would be remiss without acknowledging certain people who have been critical in the success in this textbook. I would like to acknowledge Dr. Lynda Yang for her foresight in initiating the Comprehensive Brachial Plexus Program at the University of Michigan and for her invaluable assistance in organizing all the chapters by meticulously checking every single detail from the inception of this textbook to its full production. I am certain that her dedication to this effort is the main reason that this textbook will be the pride of this specialty. We are indebted to Dr. McGillicuddy for his implicit support and dedication to the Program’s efforts. Additionally, I would also like to acknowledge our staff, Phil Clapham, Pouya Entezami, Lilly Bellfi, Holly Wagner and Connie McGovern for their help and our Elsevier development editor, Alex Mortimer, whose patience has overcome many of the difficulties and obstacles in this multi-author, international collaborative effort.
My most important acknowledgement is to our contributing authors who are all our closest colleagues in putting aside a certain portion of their practice and family life to share their expertise for the advancement of this specialty. They have put their heart and soul into every word in this volume, and we are certainly appreciative of their generous contributions.
I hope that you will cherish this book in your care of patients with brachial plexus conditions. I am certain that we will continue to update this textbook by keeping up with the advancement in surgical techniques and nerve research.
