“…11,12 SETS transfers have also been studied clinically for both acute traumatic nerve injury and compression neuropathy and are an increasingly utilized option. [10][11][12][13][14][15] In previous femoral nerve decompression and nerve transfer procedures for femoral nerve injuries, we observed that the sartorius branches were often spared. We noted this pattern by stimulating branches of the femoral nerve with a handheld nerve stimulator.…”

OBJECTIVEPartial femoral nerve injuries cause significant disability with ambulation. Due to their more proximal and superficial location, sartorius branches are often spared in femoral nerve injuries. In this article, the authors report the benefits of femoral nerve decompression, demonstrate the feasibility of sartorius-to-quadriceps nerve transfers in a cadaveric study, describe the surgical technique, and report clinical results.METHODSFour fresh-frozen cadaveric lower limbs were dissected for anatomical analysis of the sartorius nerve. In addition, a retrospective review of patients with partial femoral nerve injuries treated with femoral nerve decompression and sartorius-to-quadriceps nerve transfers was conducted. Pre- and postoperative knee extension Medical Research Council (MRC) grades and pain scores (visual analog scale) were collected.RESULTSUp to 6 superficial femoral branches innervate the sartorius muscle just distal to the inguinal ligament. Each branch yielded an average of 672 nerve fibers (range 99–1850). Six patients underwent femoral nerve decompression and sartorius-to-quadriceps nerve transfers. Four patients also had concomitant obturator-to-quadriceps nerve transfers. At final follow-up (average 13.4 months), all patients achieved MRC grade 4−/5 or greater knee extension. The average preoperative pain score was 5.2, which decreased to 2.2 postoperatively (p = 0.03).CONCLUSIONSFemoral nerve decompression and nerve transfer using sartorius branches are a viable tool for restoring function in partial femoral nerve injuries. Sartorius branches serve as ideal donors in quadriceps nerve transfers because they are expendable, are close to their recipients, and have an adequate supply of nerve fibers.

“…For proximal ulnar nerve lacerations, the cost of doing an AIN RETS may be in not doing an AIN end-to-end to motor of ulnar nerve transfer. Though Koriem et al 17 recently reported objectively documented improved outcomes of supercharging plus ulnar nerve repair verses isolated ulnar nerve repair at 18-month follow-up, the important comparison with direct AIN to motor of ulnar nerve is still lacking. Though limited in the total number of data points, multiple outcomes series demonstrate consistency and predictability with the direct transfer.…”

Reverse End-to-Side (Supercharging) Nerve Transfer: Conceptualization, Validation, and Translation

Partial nerve recovery either after expectant observation following an injury in-continuity or after nerve repair is not an uncommon occurrence. Historically, treatment strategies in these situations—late repair, revision repair, or acceptance of a mediocre result—were unsatisfying. The reverse end-to-side, or supercharging, nerve transfer was conceived to offer a more palatable option. Partially validated primarily through small animal research, supercharging has been rapidly translated to clinical practice. Many have extended the indications beyond the original intent, though the final place of this technique in the peripheral nerve surgeon’s armamentarium is still yet to be determined.
