• Offers evidence supporting a specific donor nerve choice (branch to long head of triceps) for restoring deltoid function in upper brachial plexus injuries, an area where reconstructive options are limited. • Demonstrates that combining this transfer with spinal accessory-to-suprascapular nerve transfer can achieve functional shoulder abduction without sacrificing elbow extension strength. • Provides outcome benchmarks (M4 deltoid strength, ~124° abduction) that trainees can use to gauge expected results when counseling patients about nerve transfer options for upper trunk plexus injuries.
