Re: How successful is nerve transfer surgery?

You got nothing to loose, give it a go. Mine were not avulsed but cut and stretched but my shoulder went from hardly anything to 100%, my bicep went from nothing to a weak grade 4. Nothing below elbow but haven got that far yet but it will be next.

Muscle and nerve transfer to hand

Hi All,

Has anyone had any luck with a nerve and muscle transfer to hand and wondering what the results were.

My blood supply is really bad so may need to graft a blood supply as well. Prob looking at muscle on inner thigh and nerve from ribs.

Hi mate, Im 35 now and the doctors were Prof Tonkin and Dr Biggs at the Royal North Shore Private Hospital in Sydney Australia. I had nerve grafts from my calves to shoulder, bicep and elbow. 2x 15cm grafts and 1x 30cm grafts.
