Transfer of the Nerve to the Brachioradialis Muscle to the Anterior Interosseous Nerve for Treatment for Lower Brachial Plexus Lesions: Case Report

In lower lesions of the brachial plexus (C8–T1) there is good function of the shoulder, elbow, and wrist, although that of the hand is impaired. Reconstruction of finger flexion is generally obtained by tendon transfer. We present a case report involving transfer of the motor nerve branch of the brachioradialis muscle to the anterior interosseous nerve to restore finger flexion in acute lower brachial plexus lesion.
