Usefulness of Nerve Transposition in Tetraplegic Patients: A Clinical Case
Artikel in mehreren Sprachen: español | English
Abstract
Spinal cord injury has an incidence of 40 new cases per million inhabitants, the most affected regions being the cervical and lumbar spine. In cervical injuries, the function most challenging to recover is control of the hand. Still, when the injury is above C5, the tendon surgical options are minimal, so nerve transfer is the remaining surgical option. Determining which transfer is going to be useful and when to do it is the point of discussion. More and more progress is being made in this line, as well as in the combination of tendon and nervous treatment.
