Area of Science:

  • Reconstructive Microsurgery
  • Neuroscience
  • Orthopedic Surgery

Background:

  • Complete avulsion of the brachial plexus often results in severe functional loss, including the inability to grasp objects.
  • Restoring prehension (grasping ability) in such cases has been a significant challenge in reconstructive surgery.
