Had nerve transfers 12 months ago with very little success.The surgeon wants to operate on my hand muscles to stretch them past my elbow into the bicept.Apparently when i want to flex my elbow i make a fist and my arm will bend.Does anybody know of this surgery? If so please let me know,thank you,Geoff.

Geoff - Dr. Kozin at Shriners in Philadelphia, PA is a hand specialist. I know he works with pediatrics bpi - but he would be someone to ask an opinion of for sure.
