The Mid-Term Changes of Pulmonary Function Tests After Phrenic Nerve Transfer [PDF]
, 2016 Background: In the restoration of elbow flexion, the phrenic nerve has proven to be a good donor, but considering the role of the phrenic nerve in respiratory function, we cannot disregard the potential dangers of this method.
