[Restoration of grip by means of repair of the injured peripheral nerve and/or muscle-tendon transfer (author's transl)].
Muscle or tendon transfers are indicated after lesions of peripheral nerves if regeneration does not occur or remains incomplete after nerve repair or if the paralyzed muscles themselves are damaged. In long-standing cases the authors try nerve repair to attain adequate sensitivity, and perform the tendon transfer independently. The different techniques are discussed; transfer of the brachialis muscle to replace deficient flexor muscles is described and nerve-into-muscle implantation is mentioned.
