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.

Low Median Nerve Transfers (Opponensplasty)
Hand Clinics, 2016Opposition is the placement of the thumb opposite the fingers into a position from which it can work. This motion requires thumb palmar abduction, flexion, and pronation, which are provided by the abductor pollicis brevis, flexor pollicis brevis (FPB), and opponens pollicis.

Annals of Plastic Surgery
Abstract Despite the long history of experience in peripheral nerve reconstruction, dating back to the 1870s, recent decades have seen an explosion of innovation. Advancements have been made in primary repair, secondary repair, nerve grafts, tendon transfers, and, most recently, nerve transfers.

Nerve Graft and Nerve Transfer
2017Only certain nerves are capable of being harvested. For nerves for the finger, because only thin and comparatively short nerves are required for nerve transplant, the cutaneous nerve of the forearm and the posterior interosseous nerve can be used.

Irritation of the ulnar nerve frequently occurs in the athlete who throws. This irritation manifests itself in tenderness at the elbow and occasionally causes a radiation of symptoms into the fourth and fifth fingers.2 With activity, the nerve may also sublux in the groove and produce tenderness there. Often there is a positive Tinel’s sign.

Nerve Grafting And Neuromuscular Transfers
Otolaryngologic Clinics of North America, 1994In today's otolaryngology practice, surgeons frequently encounter situations in which soft-tissue augmentation is needed. Traditionally, fat, fascia, and nonvascularized muscle have been used for these purposes. This article reviews the history as well as the current applications and limitations of these materials.

Rehabilitation Following Motor Nerve Transfers
Hand Clinics, 2008Cortical mapping and relearning are key factors in optimizing patient outcome following motor nerve transfers. To maximize function following nerve transfers, the rehabilitation program must include motor reeducation to initiate recruitment of the weak reinnervated muscles and to establish new motor patterns and cortical mapping.

Tendon Transfers in Ulnar-Nerve Injuries
New England Journal of Medicine, 1960ULNAR-nerve severance destroys the innervation to the bulk of the intrinsic muscles of the hand, robbing it of its ability to perform the refined motions so necessary to the artisan and skilled wor...
