摘要
Nerve transfer and muscle re-innervation are critical components for restoring function and managing brachial plexus injuries. This technical note highlights the role of ultrasound in assessing the success of a nerve transfer after the surgical procedure. By visualizing the nerve transfer site and evaluating muscle response to stimulation, ultrasound can help confirm that the transferred nerve is healing and re-innervating the target muscle. This report highlights the effectiveness of ultrasound in the early diagnosis and monitoring of nerve re-innervation and muscle recovery.
