Download or read book Nerve Transfers an Issue of Hand Clinics written by Susan E. Mackinnon and published by Saunders. This book was released on 2008-11 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The recent use of nerve transfers presents a paradigm shift in the management of nerve injury. Surgical reconstruction of proximal level nerve injures or repairs with long nerve grafts often result in less than optimal outcomes, thus presenting the opportunity for other reconstructive techniques. Nerve transfers provide a closer source of axons to the motor end plates from an uninjured nerve to a recipient nerve and in many cases these transfers eliminate the need for a nerve graft by allowing a direct end to end nerve repair without tension. Basic research on cortical plasticity, peripheral nerve regeneration and muscle recovery support the concept that transfer is by far the best method of nerve reconstruction when ever possible. This edition of Clinics will review the surgical options and experiences of experts in the field using nerve transfers for patients with upper extremity nerve injuries.

Download or read book Peripheral Nerve Issues after Orthopedic Surgery written by Christopher J. Dy and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-11-15 with total page 431 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Peripheral nerve issues are potential sequalae of orthopedic surgery, even after cases in which technically excellent surgery was performed. These injuries can impede the expected recovery of function after the primary surgery. Given the manifold challenges associated with recovery of peripheral nerve injuries, this book is designed as a multidisciplinary guide to the diagnosis, prognostication and treatment of peripheral nerve issues after common orthopedic surgeries. Beginning with an overview of nerve compression, injury and regeneration, as well as a presentation of the current diagnostic and imaging modalities for peripheral nerve injuries, this unique text is organized by anatomic region and by type of procedure performed. Topics covered include shoulder and elbow arthroplasty and arthroscopy, fractures of the hand and wrist, hip preservation surgery, total knee replacement, open surgery of the foot and ankle, lumbosacral myeloradiculopathy, and more. Each chapter is authored by both a subspecialty surgeon who routinely performs the surgeries described and a subspecialized hand/peripheral nerve surgeon with experience in evaluating and treating nerve issues after that particular injury. Emphasis is placed on multidisciplinary team approaches, patient counseling, and technical aspects of surgical treatment. Generously illustrated and written by experts in the field, Peripheral Nerve Issues after Orthopedic Surgery is a truly interdisciplinary resource for orthopedic, plastic, hand and trauma surgeons, physiatrists, trainees, and all professionals evaluating and managing postoperative peripheral nerve issues.

Download or read book Modern Concepts of Peripheral Nerve Repair written by Kirsten Haastert-Talini and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-06-19 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on posttraumatic repair and reconstruction of peripheral nerves. Written by internationally respected specialists, it provides an overview of the challenges and the latest advances in diagnosis and treatment of traumatic peripheral nerve injuries. It presents an outline of state-of the-art procedures from diagnostics, including newest imaging techniques, over conventional and alternative surgical approaches to clinical follow-up and rehabilitation, including the latest concepts to improve functional recovery. The purely clinical topics are preceded by neuroanatomical principles and neurobiological events related to peripheral nerve transection injuries and followed by an outlook on current experimental developments in the area of biomaterials for artificial nerve grafts and peripheral nerve tissue engineering. Peripheral nerve injuries not only affect the nerve tissue at the site of injury, but also target tissue and parts of the central nervous system. They often have dramatic consequences for patients, including loss of sensory and motor functions combined with paresthesia or pain, and a reduced quality of life and ability to work. An adequate understanding of the procedures for proper decision-making and reconstructing peripheral nerves is therefore essential to ensure optimized functional recovery.
