[Preoperative study of the good condition of nerve neurotizers]

In traumatic injury of the brachial plexus, neurotization of peripheral nerves of the hand with different nerve donors is indicated at the preganglionary level in order to restore motor function. This communication describes a procedure for preoperatively determining the state of the nerves to be neurotized. This procedure evaluates the, state of the estimated nerve donors and presents a means of planning in advance the way of performing an operation aimed at recovering the lost motor functions, by considerably reducing the time of the operation.
