Triceps nerve to deltoid nerve transfer after an unsatisfactory intra-plexus neurotization of the posterior division of the upper trunk
INTRODUCTION Our literature review did not reveal any study on the results of triceps to deltoid nerve transfer done as a secondary procedure after an unsatisfactory primary intraplexus neurotization of the posterior division of the upper trunk. PRESENTATION OF CASES We report on three adults with C5-C6 brachial plexus injury who had an unsatisfactory deltoid function following primary intrap...
متن کاملTriceps Innervation Pattern: Implications for Triceps Nerve to Deltoid Nerve Transfer
There are multiple nerve branches supplying the triceps. Traditionally, the nerve to the long head of triceps is utilized for nerve transfer to neurotize the deltoid muscle in patients with brachial plexus injuries. However, no anatomical studies were done to investigate which triceps nerve would be preferred for nerve transfer. This anatomical study was carried out to describe the innervation ...
متن کاملRehabilitation After Posterior Deltoid to Triceps Transfer in Tetraplegia.
OBJECTIVE To describe and evaluate the rehabilitation concept after posterior deltoid to triceps transfer in patients with tetraplegia. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING Rehabilitation units. PARTICIPANTS Patients with tetraplegia who had posterior deltoid to triceps tendon transfer and had muscle strength measurements 1 year postsurgery from 2009 to 2013 (N=44). INTERVE...
متن کاملImproved C3-4 transfer for treatment of root avulsion of the brachial plexus upper trunk
Experimental rats with root avulsion of the brachial plexus upper trunk were treated with the improved C3-4 transfer for neurotization of C5-6. Results showed that Terzis grooming test scores were significantly increased at 6 months after treatment, the latency of C5-6 motor evoked potential was gradually shortened, and the amplitude was gradually increased. The rate of C3 instead of C5 and the...
متن کاملAxillary nerve neurotization by a triceps motor branch: comparison between axillary and posterior arm approaches☆
Objectives This study is aimed at comparing the functional outcome of axillary nerve neurotization by a triceps motor branch through the axillary approach and posterior arm approach. Methods The study included 27 patients with post-traumatic brachial plexus injury treated with axillary nerve neurotization by a triceps motor branch for functional recovery of shoulder abduction and external rot...
