Nerve Transfers for Treatment of Isolated Axillary Nerve Injuries.
BACKGROUND The most common neurological defect in traumatic anterior glenohumeral dislocation is isolated axillary nerve palsy. Most recover spontaneously; however, some have persistent axillary neuropathy. An intact rotator cuff may compensate for an isolated axillary nerve injury; however, given the high rate of rotator cuff pathology with advancing age, patients with an axillary nerve injury...
متن کاملAbstract: Nerve Transfer Versus Interpositional Nerve Graft Reconstruction for Post-traumatic, Isolated Axillary Nerve Injuries: A Systematic Review
MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic review was performed using the PubMED, SCOPUS, and Cochrane databases in order to identify all cases of isolated, posttraumatic axillary nerve injuries in patients 18 years or older. Patients who underwent axillary nerve reconstruction were included and categorized by technique: graft or transfer. Demographics were recorded, including age, time to operation, ...
متن کاملNerve transfers for severe nerve injury.
Nerve transfers are becoming used increasingly for repair of severe nerve injures, especially brachial plexus injuries, where the proximal spinal nerve roots have been avulsed from the spinal cord. The procedure essentially involves the coaptation of a proximal foreign (donor) nerve to the distal denervated (recipient) nerve, so that the latter's end-organs will be reinnervated by the donated a...
متن کاملReconstruction of pediatric brachial plexus injuries with nerve grafts and nerve transfers.
PURPOSE To review the demographics and injury patterns in consecutive pediatric patients with traumatic brachial plexus injury presenting to a single center over a 16-year period and to review the outcomes of nerve grafting and nerve transfers for reconstruction of shoulder abduction and elbow flexion in these patients. METHODS Forty-five pediatric patients presented for treatment of traumati...
