Nerve Transfer

Nerve transfer is a surgical procedure used to restore function after nerve damage. It involves rerouting a healthy nerve or its branches from a nearby area to connect with and reinnervate a damaged nerve that has lost its function. This allows the brain to regain control over lost muscles by establishing new nerve pathways. The goal is to improve movement and strength, particularly after nerve injuries from trauma or accidents. The procedure is carefully planned to ensure the transferred nerve can effectively stimulate the target muscles, promoting recovery and restoring as much normal function as possible.
