Vascularized thoracodorsal to suprascapular nerve transfer, a novel technique to restore shoulder function in partial brachial plexopathy

Frontiers in Surgery, 2016
We describe the clinical outcome of a novel nerve transfer to restore active shoulder motion in upper brachial plexus injury. The thoracodorsal nerve was successfully used as a vascularized donor nerve to neurotize to the suprascapular nerve in a patient
