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 ...

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 ...

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:

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.

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 ...

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 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.

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

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.
