Cranial Nerve Coactivation and Implication for Nerve Transfers to the Facial Nerve
Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, 2018Summary: In reanimation surgery, effortless smile can be achieved by a nonfacial donor nerve. The underlying mechanisms for this smile development, and which is the best nonfacial neurotizer, need further clarification. The aim of the present study was therefore to further explore the natural coactivation between facial mimic ...

Nerve Transfers in Facial Palsy
Facial Plastic Surgery, 2008The facial paralysis patient suffers serious functional, cosmetic, and psychological problems with impaired ability to communicate. Despite the advances of recent years and the number of new techniques proposed in the literature, facial reanimation remains a challenge for the reconstructive surgeon.

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 the Forearm and Hand
Hand Clinics, 2008In the forearm, vital and expendable functions have been identified, and tendon transfers use these conventions to maximize function and minimize disability. Using similar concepts, distal nerve transfers offer a reconstruction that often is superior to reconstruction accomplished by traditional grafting.

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.

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

Hand Clinics, 2016
Radial nerve palsy typically occurs as a result of trauma or iatrogenic injury and leads to the loss of wrist extension, finger extension, thumb extension, and a reduction in grip strength. In the absence of nerve recovery, reconstruction of motor function involves tendon transfer surgery. The most common donor tendons include the pronator teres, wrist

Neurosurgery, 2016
Brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injuries are exceedingly common. Traditional nerve grafting reconstruction strategies and techniques have not changed significantly over the last 3 decades. Increased experience and wider adoption of nerve transfers as part of the reconstructive strategy have resulted in a marked improvement in clinical outcomes. We

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.

Phrenic Nerve Transfer for Elbow Flexion and Intercostal Nerve Transfer for Elbow Extension
The Journal of Hand Surgery, 2010To explore long-term recovery of elbow flexion and extension after transferring the phrenic nerve and intercostal nerves, respectively, in adults with global brachial plexus avulsion injuries.Seven adults with global brachial plexus avulsion injuries had the phrenic nerve transferred to the musculocutaneous nerve (or to the anterior division of upper ...
