        Coletta’s Story – Brachial Plexus Reconstruction

        Coletta “Mickey” Coles was left with nerve damage after a bad fall, resulting in a loss of functionality in her hand. She went to see Dr. Andrew Elkwood, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon at The Institute for Advanced Reconstruction. Dr. Elkwood performed brachial plexus reconstruction. Coletta is back doing the things she used to do, including simple activities we all take for granted, such as typing and opening doors.
