Selective Nerve Transfer
Selective nerve transfer can be considered when the injury distance is long, the distal target muscle has been denervated for a long time, or direct repair and transplantation are difficult to achieve effective bridging. Decision points include: the nature and distribution of the disease, the functi

How Selective Nerve Transfer is performed
This procedure involves transferring a bundle of relatively functionally redundant donor nerve fibers to the target recipient nerve to reconstruct the innervation of key muscle groups. Nerve bundles are usually separated and marked under a microscope, and neurolysis and electrophysiological localization are performed if necessary. Subsequently, end-to-end or end-to-side anastomosis is completed under tension-free conditions, and hemostasis and soft tissue coverage protection are performed. In the early postoperative period, attention is paid to wound and limb protection, and subsequent rehabilitation promotes the function of the new pathway, observing the gradual changes in muscle strength and sensation. The above is general health information and not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist evaluation and hospital protocol.
