Brachial Plexus and Peripheral Nerve Injuries

Our doctors also specialize in the care of nerve injuries of the hand, wrist, elbow, arm, shoulder, and throughout the leg. While many of these injuries can recover with time and observation, it is important to have an expert evaluate these injuries and ensure that healing is occurring in an appropriate fashion.

There are times when immediate surgery is the best treatment for an injury and other times when surgery may be the answer only after adequate time has passed, but you do not want to miss the opportunity to make the appropriate treatment decision for your child. Let our experts help guide you through these injuries from start to finish.

Our doctors are experienced with microsurgical nerve repair, nerve grafting surgery, and nerve transfer surgery. They also perform other reconstructive surgeries, such as tendon transfer surgery.

Dr. Allan Peljovich, Dr. Joshua Ratner, and Dr. Bryce Gillespie bring with them the experience of specialty training at Boston Children’s Hospital and Shriners Hospitals for Children – Philadelphia to the Brachial Plexus Program at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta. They are the only specialty-trained surgeons in Georgia providing care to pediatric patients with brachial plexus injuries. These include infants with brachial plexus birth palsies as well as pediatric and adolescent patients who injure themselves playing sports or in ATV/car accidents.
