✦ Synopsis

Abstract

Our concept for the reconstruction of brachial plexus injuries includes an intercostal nerve transfer to the vascularized ulnar nerve graft. A free neurovascular latissimus dorsi is then transferred in a second stage operation. For optimization of the regeneration result, the operative planning of the second step includes nerve biopsies and enzymhistochemical evaluation for the distribution of motor axons. The staining method according to Scabolcz et al.^13^ is described and clinical cases are presented. © 1993 Wiley‐Liss Inc.
