Abstract: Nerve Transfer Versus Interpositional Nerve Graft Reconstruction for Post-traumatic, Isolated Axillary Nerve Injuries: A Systematic Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
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, and presence of concomitant injuries. Functional outcomes were evaluated, including British MRC strength and range of motion for shoulder abduction.

متن کاملNerve 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 کاملOutcome following spinal accessory to suprascapular (spinoscapular) nerve transfer in infants with brachial plexus birth injuries.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the value of distal spinal accessory nerve (SAN) transfer to the suprascapular nerve (SSN) in children with brachial plexus birth injuries in order to better define the application and outcome of this transfer in these infants. Over a 3-year period, 34 infants with brachial plexus injuries underwent transfer of the SAN to the SSN as part of the primary s...
متن کاملMedian Nerve Repair with Autologous Sciatic Nerve Graft: A Case Report
Background. Peripheral nerve injury treatment options are limited to primary nerve repair, nerve grafting, and tendon transfers. In this case, a large suitable donor site was easily accessible and delayed grafting was indicative of poor prognosis. Case Description. A 25-year-old soldier presented to a military hospital in Afghanistan following a roadside bomb attack. The patient had a medial sh...
متن کاملComparison of nerve transfers and nerve grafting for traumatic upper plexus palsy: a systematic review and analysis.
BACKGROUND In treating patients with brachial plexus injury, there are no comparative data on the outcomes of nerve grafts or nerve transfers for isolated upper trunk or C5-C6-C7 root injuries. The purpose of our study was to compare, with systematic review, the outcomes for modern intraplexal nerve transfers for shoulder and elbow function with autogenous nerve grafting for upper brachial plex...
