Nerve Transfer
It is often used in cases of proximal high-level injury, long defects, or delayed consultation, where direct repair or transplantation is difficult to meet the regeneration time frame. The decision is based on the affected motor/sensory function, time since injury, availability of potential donor ne

How Nerve Transfer is performed
Under microscopic and electrophysiological guidance, a functionally redundant donor nerve or its fascicles are selected and transferred to the target muscle or distal nerve to shorten the regeneration distance. Nerve dissection, tension assessment, and fine-thread suturing are usually performed, with grafting or decompression if necessary. Postoperative fixation and early "relearning" training are carried out to monitor sensation, muscle strength, and pain, with the goal of reconstructing key movements. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.

Recovery process
Step 1
Recovery and stay
Combining preoperative evaluation, hospitalization, and postoperative follow-up and training, it is recommended to stay for approximately 3–5 weeks in total; subject to specialist schedule and individual recovery.
