Trends and insights review. Nerve procedures in the management of upper limb spasticity.
Journal of Hand Surgery, European Volume 2024 March 28
This article reviews the recent advances or nerve-oriented surgical procedures in the treatment of the spastic upper limb. The idea to intervene on the nerve is not recent, but new trends have developed in nerve surgery over the past few years, stimulating experiments and research. Specific surgical procedures involving the nerves have been described at different levels from proximal to distal: at the cervical spinal cord and the dorsal root entry zone (rhizotomy), at the level of the roots (contralateral C7 transfer) or in the peripheral nerve, within the motor trunk (selective neurectomy) or as its branches penetrate the muscles (hyperselective neurectomy). All of these neurosurgical procedures are only effective on spasticity but do not address the other deformities, such as contractures and motor deficit. Additional procedures may have to be planned in conjunction with nerve procedures to optimize outcomes.
