- Peripheral nerve injuries can severely affect limb function, making timely and accurate diagnosis crucial for effective treatment and recovery.
- Current diagnostic practices rely on clinical exams and electroneurography, which may delay treatment and hinder healing; there's a need for a better method to correlate nerve damage with functional outcomes.
- This study will evaluate the effectiveness of MR neurography (MRN) compared to standard diagnostic tools in 60 patients with nerve injuries, aiming to enhance early detection and treatment planning over an 18-24 month period.
Surgical nerve transfers are used to efficiently treat peripheral nerve injuries, neuromas, phantom limb pain, or improve bionic prosthetic control. Commonly, one donor nerve is transferred to one target muscle. However, the transfer of multiple nerves onto a single target muscle may increase the number of muscle signals for myoelectric prosthetic control and facilitate the treatment of multiple neuromas.
