Outcomes of Shoulder Functions in Spinal Accessory to Suprascapular Nerve Transfer in Brachial Plexus Injury: A Comparison between Anterior and Posterior Approach

Indian Journal of Plastic Surgery, 2021
Background Restoration of shoulder functions is important in brachial plexus injury (BPI). The functional outcomes of spinal accessory nerve (SAN) to suprascapular nerve (SSN) transfer by the anterior supraclavicular approach and the posterior approach ...

Radial to Axillary Nerve Transfer Outcomes in Shoulder Abduction: A Systematic Review

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2020
Background:. Brachial plexus and axillary nerve injuries often result in paralysis of the deltoid muscle. This can be functionally debilitating for patients and have a negative impact on their activities of daily living.

Outcomes of Nerve Transfers in Peroneal Nerve Palsy

Plastic Surgery, 2022
Background: The objective of this work is to: (i) evaluate the postoperative outcomes after lower extremity nerve transfer (LENT) in patients with peroneal nerve palsy, and (ii) evaluate the patient and surgical factors that best predict successful restoration of ankle dorsiflexion following nerve transfer.

Smile Outcomes When Using Masseteric Nerve-based Nerve Transfers versus Direct Muscle Neurotization in Facial Palsy Patients

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Global Open, 2023
Background:. When dealing with a weak smile, nerve transfer is a viable strategy. We evaluated outcomes of masseteric nerve to facial nerve transfers and compared them with direct muscle neurotization (DMN). Methods:.

Variations in the Branching Pattern of the Radial Nerve Branches to Triceps Brachii Muscle [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2019
Introduction: The axillary nerve arises from the posterior cord of the brachial plexus and supplies the deltoid and teres minor muscles. Axillary nerve injuries lead to abduction and external rotation weakness.

Phrenic nerve transfer to the musculocutaneous nerve for the repair of brachial plexus injury: electrophysiological characteristics

Neural Regeneration Research, 2015
Phrenic nerve transfer is a major dynamic treatment used to repair brachial plexus root avulsion. We analyzed 72 relevant articles on phrenic nerve transfer to repair injured brachial plexus that were indexed by Science Citation Index.

Vascularized thoracodorsal to suprascapular nerve transfer, a novel technique to restore shoulder function in partial brachial plexopathy

Frontiers in Surgery, 2016
We describe the clinical outcome of a novel nerve transfer to restore active shoulder motion in upper brachial plexus injury. The thoracodorsal nerve was successfully used as a vascularized donor nerve to neurotize to the suprascapular nerve in a patient
