Electrodiagnostic Parameters After Sets Transfer in Patients With Ulnar Compression Neuropathy
Rochester, MN
The primary objective of the study is to determine the degree of axonal contribution from the transferred Anterior Interosseous Nerve (AIN) to the ulnar innervated intrinsic muscles of the hand after a Supercharged End to Side AIN to Ulnar Motor Nerve Transfer (SETS-AIN) in patients with severe ulnar compression neuropathy. The degree of axonal contribution will be determined by physical examination (grip strength, pinch strength, intrinsic muscle strength) and electrodiagnostic studies (nerve conduction studies and electromyography).
Secondary objectives include comparing the results of decompression (DCS) + SETS with patients undergoing DCS alone and DCS and end to end ...
