Nerve Transfers for Severe Nerve Injury
Neurosurgery Clinics of North America, 2009Nerve transfers are becoming used increasingly for repair of severe nerve injures, especially brachial plexus injuries, where the proximal spinal nerve roots have been avulsed from the spinal cord. The procedure essentially involves the coaptation of a proximal foreign (donor) nerve to the distal denervated (recipient) nerve, so that the latter's end ...

Radial Nerve Palsy: Nerve Transfer Versus Tendon Transfer to Restore Function
HAND, 2021Background: Radial nerve injuries cause profound disability, and a variety of reconstruction options exist. This study aimed to compare outcomes of tendon transfers versus nerve transfers for the management of isolated radial nerve injuries. Methods: A retrospective chart review of 30 patients with isolated radial nerve injuries treated with tendon ...

Results of Nerve Transfers to the Musculocutaneous and Axillary Nerves
Neurosurgery, 2000Nerve transfers in cases of brachial plexus traction injuries with avulsion of spinal nerve roots or irreparable proximal lesions of spinal nerves have been attempted using a variety of donor nerves. The purpose of this study was to analyze the results of nerve transfers to the musculocutaneous and axillary nerves, using collateral branches of the ...

Advances in nerve transfer surgery
Journal of Hand Therapy, 2014Peripheral nerve injuries are devastating injuries and can result in physical impairments, poor functional outcomes and high levels of disability. Advances in our understanding of peripheral nerve regeneration and nerve topography have lead to the development of nerve transfers to restore function.

Nerve Transfers in Tetraplegia
Hand Clinics, 2016Hand and upper extremity function is instrumental to basic activities of daily living and level of independence in cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). Nerve transfer surgery is a novel and alternate approach for restoring function in SCI. This article discusses the biologic basis of nerve transfers in SCI, patient evaluation, management, and surgical ...

Intercostal nerve transfer classification
Chirurgie de la Main, 2001We report a new classification of intercostal nerve transfer. The specific application in brachial plexus reconstruction is described. This method was applied in intercostal nerve transfer to the musculocutaneous nerve in 15 patients. In type 1, "MOTOR to MIXED" transfer one harvest only the intercostal main motor branch which is connected at the trunk

Journal of Hand Surgery, 2004
Various types of sensory nerve transfer in the hand are presented. They were all performed after brachial plexus injury to restore sensation, mainly to the adjacent borders of the thumb and index finger or to the ulnar aspect of the little finger. Twenty one cases were assessed.

NERVE TRANSFERS IN THE UPPER EXTREMITY
Hand Clinics, 2000Restoration of extremity function following nerve injury is often unpredictable. Nerve transfers in the upper extremity are important techniques in the management of many types of peripheral nerve injury. The physiologic principles of nerve transfer lead to the indications for use.
