Surgical treatment for total root avulsion type brachial plexus injuries by neurotization: A prospective comparison study between total and hemicontralateral C7 nerve root transfer
PURPOSE We conducted a clinical study to evaluate the effects of neurotization, especially comparing the total contralateral C7 (CC7) root transfer to hemi-CC7 transfer, on total root avulsion brachial plexus injuries (BPI). METHODS Forty patients who received neurotization for BPI were enrolled in this prospective study. Group 1 (n = 20) received hemi-CC7 transfer for hand function, while gr...

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 کاملDifferent functional reorganization of motor cortex after transfer of the contralateral C7 to different recipient nerves in young rats with total brachial plexus root avulsion.
Clinically, contralateral C7 transfer is used for nerve reconstruction in brachial plexus injuries. Postoperatively, synchronous motions at the donor limb are noteworthy. This study studied if different recipient nerves influenced transhemispheric functional reorganization of motor cortex after this procedure. 90 young rats with total root avulsion of the brachial plexus were divided into group...
متن کاملAvulsion injuries to the brachial plexus and the value of motor reinnervation by ipsilateral nerve transfer.
1. It is now generally accepted that time between the injury and its reconstruction is a crucial determinant of the functional result. In long-standing brachial plexus lesions, atrophy of the denervated muscles progresses until reinnervation becomes impossible or can only produce a minor, clinically unimportant result. Therefore, it is important to perform an early surgical exploration within 3...
