My Daughter Rondi needs a gracilis transfer for her hand. She has no use of it right now. Dr. Nath is scheduled to do it. How was your experience at Mayo ?
Does your son have grip now? Does he have any sensory perception in his hand? I have not talked to anyone who has had this procedure for the hand done,
Gracilis Muscle Transfer
Re: Gracilis Muscle Transfer
Gianni has always had good hand function. He was affected with C5, C6, and some of C7. He did have 9 nerve grafts done almost three years ago. He still can't bend at the elbow, so we will be trying the muscle transfer sugery for elbow flextion.
