Description:

This presentation will provide a brief review of the micro and macro peripheral nerve anatomy to prepare the audience for the dissection topic. The presenter will discuss the effects of nerve injury from the perspective of the peripheral nerves, the Central Nervous system and the end target organs. The dissection will serve to establish anatomical correlations to upper extremity injury, the healing process and the rehabilitation. The speaker will present selective nerve transfers and tendon transfers and perspective functionality for the injured patient.
