Аннотация
BACKGROUND: Complicated spinal cord injury occurs in 1-5 cases per 100.000. In children, cervical trauma makes up 72% of all spinal trauma. Spinal cord injury complicates vertebral trauma in 25-50% of cases that usually results severe disability. Rehabilitation of these patients is usually ineffective or results a little improvement. Restoration of even minimal movements is essential in these patients. There are reports devoted to surgical rehabilitation of important hand functions after cervical spinal cord injury.
OBJECTIVE: To demonstrate the restoration of key hand functions in patients with CV-CVII complicated spinal cord injury using selective neurotization of the median nerve.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Three patients aged 17-19 years with complicated CV-CVII spinal cord injury and ASIA class A have been selected for surgery for 2 years. Mean period after rehabilitation was 11.3 months. Prior to surgery, all patients recovered flexion/extension in the elbow joints, forearm rotation, flexion and extension of hands. However, there were no active movements in distal phalanges of the fingers, and initial signs of flexor contracture were observed.
RESULTS: Surgical strategy included selective neurotization of the median nerve with a motor branch of musculocutaneous nerve. In one case, we used additional neurotization of posterior interosseous nerve. Two patients recovered cylindrical grip up to M4 and pinch grip up to M3 within 15 months. In the third patient, postoperative data were not assessed due to short-term follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Selective neurotization of anterior interosseous nerve may be considered as a stage or independent surgery for restoration of key hand functions. This approach improves the quality of life in patients with complicated spinal cord injury.
