The role of nerve transfers in chronic nerve compression syndromes.

Authors

Kennedy PJ, Nag S, Otto-Moudry R, Moore AM

Abstract

Compression neuropathy is a common problem that results in impaired axonal conduction, and with time, numbness, tingling and weakness from muscle atrophy. Supercharge reverse end-to-side (SETS) nerve transfers have emerged as a novel approach to augment function in chronic nerve compression syndromes with minimal donor site morbidity. This review answers the question, “What are the indications, surgical techniques, and nuances of SETS nerve transfers for ulnar, axillary, radial, and femoral compression neuropathies?”.
