The secondary objective was to analyze the complications related to each group.

Therefore, in this systematic review, we examined the functional recovery, patient-reported outcomes, and complications of tendon transfer (TT) and nerve transfer (NT).
Methods: Five electronic databases were searched for studies (>10 cases per study) comparing NT and TT regardless of the study design (observational or experimental).
