Direct Coaptation of the Phrenic Nerve With the Posterior Division of the Lower Trunk to Restore Finger and Elbow Extension Function in Patients With Total Brachial Plexus Injuries

ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: To overcome the mismatch in nerve sizes in phrenic nerve transfer to the radial nerve for elbow and finger extension reanimation for patients with total brachial plexus injuries (TBPI), a selective neurotization procedure was designed. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the long-term res...

METHODS: Phrenic nerve was transferred to and directly coapted with the posterior division of the lower trunk in 27 patients with TBPI. Seven patients were &lt;18 years old (adolescent group), and the remaining 20 patients ≥18 years (adult group). RESULTS: Postoperative mean follow-up period was 54 ± 9 months (range, 48-85 months). The motor function attained M3 or greater in 81.5% of patients for elbow extension and in 48% of patients for finger extension. The percentage of patients who regained M3 or greater muscle power of finger extension in the adolescent group and the adult group was 71.4%, and 40%, respectively. Meanwhile, 85.7% in the adolescent group and 80% in the adult group achieved M3 or greater muscle power of elbow extension. There were no significant differences between the 2 groups. The elbow extension and finger extension were synchronous contractions and did not become independent of respiratory effort. CONCLUSION: This procedure simultaneously and effectively restores the function of elbow and finger extension in patients after TBPI. However, the patients could not do elbow and finger extension separately.</description><identifier>ISSN: 0148-396X</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1524-4040</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1227/NEU.0000000000001008</identifier><identifier>PMID: 26348009</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>United States: Oxford University Press</publisher><subject>Adolescent ; Adult ; Brachial plexus ; Brachial Plexus - injuries ; Brachial Plexus - surgery ; Child ; Child, Preschool ; Elbow ; Elbow - surgery ; Female ; Fingers - surgery ; Follow-Up Studies ; Humans ; Joint and ligament injuries ; Male ; Nerve Transfer - methods ; Neurosurgery ; Phrenic Nerve - surgery ; Phrenic Nerve - transplantation ; Recovery of Function - physiology ; Young Adult</subject><ispartof>Neurosurgery, 2016-02, Vol.78 (2), p.208-215</ispartof><rights>Copyright © 2015 by the Congress of Neurological Surgeons 2015</rights><rights>Copyright © by the Congress of Neurological Surgeons</rights><rights>Copyright © 2015 by the Congress of Neurological Surgeons</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c4248-37123c84ea0f11646b38956765ef5138db17bbe2ec0a5198e47f90ccd2c64b4f3</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c4248-37123c84ea0f11646b38956765ef5138db17bbe2ec0a5198e47f90ccd2c64b4f3</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><link.rule.ids>314,780,784,27924,27925</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/26348009$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Wang, Shu-feng</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Li, Peng-cheng</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Xue, Yun-hao</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Zou, Ji-yao</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Li, Wen-jun</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Li, Yucheng</creatorcontrib><title>Direct Coaptation of the Phrenic Nerve With the Posterior Division of the Lower Trunk to Restore Finger and Elbow Extension Function in Patients With Total Brachial Plexus Injuries</title><title>Neurosurgery</title><addtitle>Neurosurgery</addtitle><description>ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: To overcome the mismatch in nerve sizes in phrenic nerve transfer to the radial nerve for elbow and finger extension reanimation for patients with total brachial plexus injuries (TBPI), a selective neurotization procedure was designed.
