Ultrasound-Guided Near-Nerve Needle Assessment of the End-to-Side Anterior Interosseous to Ulnar Motor Nerve Transfer Contribution to Hand Intrinsic Reinnervation in Compressive Ulnar Neuropathy.

Key Points

To assess the utility of ultrasound-guided near-nerve monopolar needle stimulation in evaluating the contribution of the anterior interosseous nerve to hand intrinsic reinnervation.
Used ultrasound guidance for needle placement
Stimulated the anterior interosseous nerve (AIN)
Evaluated motor nerve transfer contributions
Focused on patients with compressive ulnar neuropathy
Confirmed the reliability of ultrasound-guided technique
Isolated AIN contributions effectively
Showed promise for improving recovery strategies in hand motor functions

Abstract

This study may demonstrate the utility of US-guided near-nerve monopolar needle AIN stimulation and suggests that it is a reliable technique to isolate the AIN contribution to hand intrinsic reinnervation following AIN ETS.
