Patient T. is the third child in the family, born naturally weighing 4.7kg. Immediately after birth, baby T. was monitored and treated with physical therapy. However, after 5 months, the baby can only lift his shoulders slightly and has very limited movement in his elbows, with poor recovery ability.

The baby underwent microsurgery to transfer nerve to restore arm function. This is a highly specialized technique, performed by a team of doctors from the burn and orthopedic department of Children's Hospital 2.

Dr. Nguyen Thi Ngoc Nga, burn and orthopedic department, Children's Hospital 2, said: "The goal of treatment is to help the child gradually recover important functions such as raising the shoulder, bending the elbow and moving the fingers. After surgery, the child will continue intensive physical therapy to optimize recovery."
