Nerve Transfers

Nerve transfer is a surgical procedure that involves rerouting healthy nerves to restore function to damaged or paralyzed muscles. When nerves are injured, signals from the brain can't reach the muscles they control. By connecting a nearby functioning nerve to the affected nerve or muscle, surgeons create a new pathway for nerve signals, helping restore movement and strength. This technique is often used in cases of nerve injuries from trauma or accidents, aiming to improve quality of life by regaining muscle control without needing a nerve graft.
