There's a link on injurednewborn.com about Kelsey's Gracilis transfer. It was a HUGE surgery. She was in TCH for 8 days. They transfered the Gracilis muscle from her left leg and put it in her forearm for hand function.

Hi! My son Franco has OBPI on his left arm too and he underwent 4 years ago the same surgery you´ve been advised now. The results have been good and he feels much more comfortable now. I live in Argentina and follow up here is quite difficult but you have the great chance of living in a country with many doctors dealing with OBPI so I guess you child´s recovery will be even better.
Good luck!
