Staged Brachialis to Anterior Interosseous Nerve Transfer With Graft for Recovery of Grasp in the Tetraplegic Patient: Technical Report.

Key Points

• To evaluate a staged approach to brachialis to anterior interosseous nerve transfer with graft for enhancing hand grasp recovery in tetraplegic individuals.
• Described a 2-stage nerve transfer technique.
• Utilized an interpositional graft for the procedure.
• Focused on tetraplegic patients suffering from limited hand function.
• Demonstrated improved hand grasp recovery compared to previous reports.
• Addressed limitations of direct nerve transfer methods.
• Showed potential for better clinical outcomes in treated patients.
