Phrenic transfer may merit preclinical optimization in avulsion models; leaves open clinical translation pending human data.
Does phrenic nerve transfer improve neural regeneration compared to other nerve transfers in a rat model of brachial plexus root avulsion?
In a rat model of brachial plexus root avulsion, phrenic nerve transfer provides superior neural regeneration compared to intercostal or accessory nerve transfers without compromising pulmonary function.
