ABSTRACT
This presentation details reconstructive options for median nerve injuries, specifically nerve transfers to reinnervate the pronator teres and anterior interosseous nerve. These two recipient nerves are critical for median nerve function and strategies for reinnervation depend on the availability of donor nerves following injury. Patient outcomes are also presented following technical discussion.
