Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy is a birth-related nerve injury affecting arm movement. At Aarshiva Hospital and ICU, we provide early evaluation, conservative management, surgical intervention when required, and structured rehabilitation to support optimal functional recovery.
Obstetric Brachial Plexus Palsy (OBPP) is a birth-related nerve injury that affects the movement and strength of a child’s shoulder, arm, or hand. It occurs when the brachial plexus nerves are stretched or injured during delivery.
Early diagnosis and timely management are crucial to improve recovery and prevent long-term functional limitations.
At Aarshiva Hospital and ICU, specialized pediatric orthopedic care for OBPP is provided under the guidance of Dr. Maulik Patel, focusing on restoring arm function and maximizing independence.

If these symptoms are noticed after birth, early orthopedic evaluation is recommended.
Detailed clinical evaluation to determine the severity of nerve injury and recovery potential.

In cases where recovery is incomplete, nerve repair or tendon transfer procedures may be advised to improve function.
Structured physiotherapy plays a vital role in improving strength, coordination, and range of motion.
