When the elbow can’t fully straighten after a birth injury
An obstetric brachial plexus injury can cause the elbow to stay bent. If casting or splinting aren’t effective, Biceps Tendon Lengthening (BTL) may help improve elbow extension and joint function.
🩺 If you have questions about whether this could apply to you or a patient in your life, call Dr. Nath's office at (713) 592-9900 or download the Texas Nerve app from the Apple App Store or Google Play and request a HIPAA-compliant video conference with Dr. Nath. We look forward to hearing from you!
