• This series supports reinnervating both the brachialis (the primary elbow flexor) and the biceps, rather than the biceps alone, as a strategy to maximize elbow flexion strength after brachial plexus injury. • The absence of donor motor or sensory deficits in this small cohort suggests that sacrificing a single fascicle each from the ulnar and median nerves is well tolerated, which is relevant when counseling patients about donor-site risk. • Because coaptation was performed directly without nerve grafts, this data point is useful when weighing graft-free fascicular transfer against alternative reconstructive options for elbow flexion.
