For how long do denervated muscles in children retain the ability to regenerate?: Restoration of elbow flexion and shoulder function by partial nerve transfer in a child with long-standing poliomyelitis-like paralysis

In infant poliomyelitis or poliomyelitis-like paresis, there has been no means of treating residual paralysis and the policy has been to wait until an affected infant has grown sufficiently to enable tendon transfer or arthrodesis.

description In infant poliomyelitis or poliomyelitis-like paresis, there has been no means of treating residual paralysis and the policy has been to wait until an affected infant has grown sufficiently to enable tendon transfer or arthrodesis. However, recent reports have described relatively good results for early surgical intervention in the form of nerve transfer. In a 4-year and 6-month-old child we transferred a partial ulnar nerve for elbow flexor reconstruction even 3 years and 10 months after the onset of poliomyelitis-like palsy and also transferred partial accessory and radial nerves for shoulder function restoration 6 months after the first operation. Elbow flexor restored M4 on the British Medical Research Council scale. The shoulder subluxation resolved, however, the strengths of the deltoid and infraspinatus remained almost M1. At the most recent clinical examination, the patient was 18 years old and the active range of motion of patient’s left elbow was 0°–125°, and those of the whole shoulder girdle were abduction 35°, flexion 60°, extension 30° and external rotation 0°. The outcomes we achieved may support partial nerve transfer techniques as viable treatment options for persistent long-standing motor deficits following poliomyelitis-like palsy in children. However, we recommend performing partial nerve transfer as early as possible after recovery from flaccid paralysis and also use of nerves that derive from narrow spinal cord segments. After denervation, children’s neuromuscular systems seem to have the ability to regenerate after a much longer period than has generally been believed. This speculation is based on only a single case report; thus, more experience is needed before this generalization can confidently be made.
