Nerve transfer in brachial plexus traction injuries [PDF]

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, 2003
Background. The aim of this study was to analyze the results of nerve transfer to the musculocutaneous and axillary nerves, using some technical modalities such as intercostal, spinal accessory or intraplexal transfer, and on the basis of the results to ...

Neuroplasticity following Nerve Transfer of the Anterior Interosseous Nerve for Proximal Ulnar Nerve Injuries

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2021
Background:. Injuries to the ulnar nerve at or above proximal forearm level result in poor recovery despite early microsurgical repair, especially concerning the intrinsic motor function of the hand.

Anterior Interosseous Nerve to Ulnar Nerve Transfer: A Systematic Review

JPRAS Open, 2022
Background: Ulnar nerve injuries, especially high (proximal forearm) injuries, result in poor functional recovery. Peripheral nerve transfers have recently become a popular technique to augment nerve repairs and reduce the reinnervation distance before ...

Histological study of donor/recipient feasibility in distal nerve transfer for the upper limb nerve injury. [PDF]

PLoS ONE
This study aimed to histologically investigate whether the compatibility of donor and recipient nerves in distal nerve transfer for radial and ulnar nerve palsy is suitable for restoring nerve function.

Elbow flexion recovery after intercostal nerve transfer in elderly patients: a clinical experience report [PDF]

Frontiers in Surgery
IntroductionRestoration of elbow flexion is a primary goal in the surgical management of complete traumatic brachial plexus injuries (BPIs). When proximal donor nerves are unavailable, intercostal nerve (ICN) transfer to the musculocutaneous nerve (MCN ...

Combined long nerve allograft and nerve transfer for functional recovery of ulnar nerve: case study with longitudinal clinical and neurodiagnostic follow-up [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience
BackgroundPeripheral nerve injuries involving large gaps (>50 mm) are associated with poor outcomes due to delayed axonal regeneration and limited reconstructive options.

Outcome of Oberlin II versus Intercostal Nerve to Musculocutaneous Nerve Transfer Procedure for Elbow Flexion in Adult Brachial Plexus Injury [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2021
Introduction: In the management of brachial plexus injury restoration of elbow flexion has been prioritised over shoulder abduction in pan plexus injury due to scarcity of suitable donor nerve for nerve transfer procedure.

Pronator teres nerve branch transfer to the extensor carpi radialis brevis nerve branch for wrist extension reconstruction in proximal radial nerve injury following humeral shaft fractures

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Background Tendon and nerve transfers are used for functional reconstruction in cases of proximal radial nerve injury complicated by humeral fractures in patients who do not show functional recovery after primary nerve repair.

Outcomes of Shoulder Functions in Spinal Accessory to Suprascapular Nerve Transfer in Brachial Plexus Injury: A Comparison between Anterior and Posterior Approach

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2021
Background Restoration of shoulder functions is important in brachial plexus injury (BPI). The functional outcomes of spinal accessory nerve (SAN) to suprascapular nerve (SSN) transfer by the anterior supraclavicular approach and the posterior approach ...

Radial to Axillary Nerve Transfer Outcomes in Shoulder Abduction: A Systematic Review

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2020
Background:. Brachial plexus and axillary nerve injuries often result in paralysis of the deltoid muscle. This can be functionally debilitating for patients and have a negative impact on their activities of daily living.
