Proximal versus Distal Nerve Transfer for Biceps Reinnervation—A Comparative Study in a Rat’s Brachial Plexus Injury Model
BACKGROUND The exact role of proximal and distal nerve transfers in reconstruction strategies of brachial plexus injury remains controversial. We compared proximal with distal nerve reconstruction strategies in a rat model of brachial plexus injury. METHODS In rats, the C6 spinal nerve with a nerve graft (proximal nerve transfer model, n = 30, group A) and 50% of ulnar nerve (distal nerve tra...
متن کاملTeaching video NeuroImages: the breathing arm: respiratory brachial synkinesis.
A 19-year-old man sustained a right upper trunk brachial plexopathy from a stab wound and became paralyzed in the right proximal arm. Twelve months later, he underwent microsurgical anastomosis of injured C5 and C6 nerve roots to the more distal C5 nerve root. At 14 months postoperatively, there were involuntary movements of his right biceps and deltoid muscles time-locked to inspiration (see v...
متن کاملNerve Transfers to Restore upper Extremity Function: A Paradigm Shift
Brachial plexus and peripheral nerve injuries lead to significant upper extremity dysfunction and disability. Traditionally, both have been treated with nerve grafting when a tensionless, end-to-end repair is not feasible. Despite our best efforts, functional outcomes of this procedure are less than ideal due to the long distances that the axons must regenerate to reach their end organs. Over t...
متن کاملBrachial plexus surgery: the role of the surgical technique for improvement of the functional outcome.
OBJECTIVE The study aims to demonstrate the techniques employed in surgery of the brachial plexus that are associated to evidence-based improvement of the functional outcome of these patients. METHOD A retrospective study of one hundred cases of traumatic brachial plexus injuries. Comparison between the postoperative outcomes associated to some different surgical techniques was demonstrated. ...
متن کاملTransfer of the Brachialis to the Anterior Interosseous Nerve as a Treatment Strategy for Cervical Spinal Cord Injury: Technical Note
Study Design Technical report. Objective To provide a technical description of the transfer of the brachialis to the anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) for the treatment of tetraplegia after a cervical spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods In this technical report, the authors present a case illustration of an ideal surgical candidate for a brachialis-to-AIN transfer: a 21-year-old patient with a co...
