@entity129 for the repair of XXXX : electrophysiological characteristics.

Phrenic nerve transfer is a major dynamic treatment used to repair brachial plexus root @entity155 . We analyzed 72 relevant articles on phrenic nerve transfer to repair injured brachial plexus that were indexed by Science Citation Index. The keywords searched were @entity2685 , phrenic nerve, repair, surgery, protection, nerve transfer, and nerve graft. In addition, we performed neurophysiological analysis of the @entity558 and prognosis of 10 @entity1 undergoing @entity129 in our hospital from 2008 to 201 3 and observed the electromyograms of the biceps brachii and motor conduction function of the musculocutaneous nerve. Clinically, approximately 28% of @entity1 had @entity2685 combined with phrenic @entity128 , and injured phrenic nerve cannot be used as a nerve graft. After phrenic nerve transfer to the musculocutaneous nerve, the regenerated potentials first appeared at 3 months. Recovery of motor unit action potential occurred 6 months later and became more apparent at 12 months. The percent of @entity1 recovering 'excellent' and 'good' muscle strength in the biceps brachii was 80% after 18 months. At 12 months after surgery, motor nerve conduction potential appeared in the musculocutaneous nerve in seven cases. These data suggest that preoperative evaluation of phrenic nerve function may help identify the most appropriate nerve graft in @entity1 with an injured brachial plexus. The functional recovery of a transplanted nerve can be dynamically observed after the surgery.
