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.

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 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.

Nerve Transfers for The Lower Limb
World Neurosurgery, 2015Abstract Nerve reconstruction following lower extremity nerve injuries usually leads to poorer outcomes than after upper extremity injuries, due to the long distances required for nerve regeneration. Distal nerve transfer would be an alternative in such cases, as it would offer a fresh and viable source of motor fibers for the recipient nerve ...
