title: Standardisation of the evaluation and classification of the clinical features in obstetric palsies.
abstract: The classification of miscellaneous clinical features in obstetric palsies is difficult due to variations during growth, regeneration, plexus repair and secondary surgery. Any useful comparison of different forms of therapy requires universally recognised norms of evaluation. Several proposals have already found clinical application. Their employment will help to unify the results of our evaluation.
