Outcomes of Nerve Transfers in Peroneal Nerve Palsy
Plastic Surgery, 2022 Background: The objective of this work is to: (i) evaluate the postoperative outcomes after lower extremity nerve transfer (LENT) in patients with peroneal nerve palsy, and (ii) evaluate the patient and surgical factors that best predict successful restoration of ankle dorsiflexion following nerve transfer.

Radial to axillary nerve transfer [PDF]
Neurosurgical Focus, 2018 Axillary nerve injury is common after brachial plexus injuries, particularly with shoulder luxation. Nerve grafting is the traditional procedure for postganglionic injuries. Nerve transfer is emerging as a viable option particularly in late referrals. At the proximal arm the radial and axillary nerves lie close by. Sacrificing one of the triceps muscle

Intraplexal nerve transfers [PDF]
BMC Proceedings, 2015 Intraplexal nerve transfer is defined as nerve transfer of a nerve within the brachial plexus with intact spinal cord connections to a more important injured nerve. For elbow flexion, the most popular one for the upper arm brachial plexus injury is the “Oberlin” nerve transfer. Transferring a part of the ulnar nerve to the branch to the biceps (Oberlin

BMC Proceedings, 2015 In nerve transfer, we transfer a physiologically active nerve to a distal, more important but irreparably paralyzed nerve. This surgical procedure is best done early within 6 months of the injury. Nerve transfer can be broadly classified into four categories: (1) Extraplexal; (2) Intraplexal and (3) Targeted nerve transfer.

Anatomical considerations for nerve transfer in axillary nerve injury
Scientific Reports, 2023 Abstract This study investigated the anatomical details of the axillary and radial nerves in 50 upper limbs from 29 adult formalin-embalmed cadavers, and 10 fresh upper limbs. The focus was on understanding the course, division, and ramifications of these nerves to improve treatment of shoulder dysfunction caused by axillary nerve damage.

HAND, 2023 Background: Isolated radial nerve palsy is a debilitating injury that may potentially be reconstructed with either tendon transfers, nerve grafts, or nerve transfers. Currently, there is no consensus on the optimal technique for reconstruction. We performed a systematic review and analysis to determine which surgical intervention provides the best ...

Novel Uses of Nerve Transfers [PDF]
Neurotherapeutics, 2019 Nerve transfer surgery involves using a working, functional nerve with an expendable or duplicated function as a donor to supply axons and restore function to an injured recipient nerve. Nerve transfers were originally popularized for the restoration of motor function in patients with peripheral nerve injuries.

Nerve transfers for treatment of isolated axillary nerve injuries [PDF]
Plastic Surgery, 2015 Background The most common neurological defect in traumatic anterior glenohumeral dislocation is isolated axillary nerve palsy. Most recover spontaneously; however, some have persistent axillary neuropathy. An intact rotator cuff may compensate for an isolated axillary nerve injury; however, given the high rate of rotator cuff pathology with advancing ...

Masseter-to-facial nerve transfer for facial nerve reanimation
Neurosurgical Focus: Video, 2023 Smooth symmetric facial muscle function is important for social interactions. When lesions of the facial nerve occur, achieving complete restoration of balanced and spontaneous facial function can be challenging. In this video, the authors demonstrate the surgical details and long-term follow-up of a masseter-to-facial nerve transfer in a 3-year-old ...

Nerve transfers for brachial neuralgia [PDF]
BMC Proceedings, 2015 Motor function, rather than sensory function, is the primary concern for most brachial plexus surgeons. After root avulsions from the spinal cord, numbness in the affected limb may be associated with extreme, almost unbearable, intractable pain. Deafferent pain is the result of avulsion of the root from the spinal cord.
