TL;DR
The anatomical evidence supports the feasibility of neurotization of the brachialis muscle nerve to branches of the extensor carpi radialis muscles for wrist extension in patients with tetraplegia, but prospective clinical trials are necessary before this technique can be recommended for routine clinical practice.
FCU to ECRB nerve transfer was anatomically feasible in the majority specimens and may offer a possible surgical option to rebalance resting wrist posture and function in patients with spastic wrist flexion deformities.

INTRODUCTION
There is a consensus in the literature regarding the excellent outcomes achieved with the Oberlin procedure for the treatment of upper brachial plexus injuries (C5-C6 and/or C7) in restoring elbow flexion. However, some limitations exist when this procedure is performed long after the initial trauma. An al...

Recognizing the pisi-palmaris muscle's presence may decrease the risk of diagnostic error or iatrogenic injury during nonoperative interventions or surgical decompression and improve patient outcomes and guide treatment.

This case report describes the use of functional free muscle transfer (FFMT) with a gracilis muscle graft to reconstruct elbow flexion after a complete traumatic brachial plexus injury. A 31-year-old previously healthy man sustained a complete left brachial plexus injury and a comminuted distal femur fracture in a high...

ABSTRACT Radial nerve injury following intramuscular injection into the upper arm is rare but clinically significant. Although injection-site selection is important, the effect of shoulder position, particularly internal rotation, on radial nerve location remains unclear. Because the radial nerve courses within the tri...

Introduction: The superficial palmar branch of the radial artery (SPBRA) typically arises from the radial artery 10 to 20 mm proximal to the distal wrist crease, before the radial artery curves dorsally around the carpal bones toward the dorsum of the hand. From its origin, the SPBRA courses toward the palmar aspect of...
