Spinal cord bypass surgery using peripheral nerve transfers: review of translational studies and a case report on its use following complete spinal cord injury in a human Experimental article Oppenheim JS; Spitzer DE; Winfree CJNeurosurg Focus 2009[Feb]; 26 (2): E6Spinal cord injury has been studied in a variety of in vitro and in vivo animal models. One promising therapeutic approach involves the transfer of peripheral nerves originating above the level of injury into the spinal cord below the level of injury. A model of spinal cord injury in rodents has shown the growth of peripheral nerve fibers into the spinal cord, with the subsequent development of functional synaptic connections and limb movement. The authors of this paper are currently developing a similar model in felines to assess the cortical control of these novel repair pathways. In an effort to determine whether these neurotization techniques could translate to spinal cord injury in humans, the authors treated a patient by using intercostal nerve transfer following complete acute spinal cord injury. The case presented details a patient with paraplegia who regained partial motor and sensory activity following the transfer of intercostal nerves, originating above the level of the spinal cord injury, into the spinal canal below the level of injury. The patient recovered some of his motor and sensory function. Notably, his recovered hip flexion showed respiratory variation. This finding raises the possibility that intercostal nerve transfers may augment neurological recovery after complete spinal cord injury.|Accidental Falls[MESH]|Growth Cones/physiology[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Intercostal Nerves/*physiology/*surgery[MESH]|Leg/innervation/physiopathology[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Middle Aged[MESH]|Muscle Contraction/physiology[MESH]|Muscle, Skeletal/innervation/physiopathology[MESH]|Nerve Regeneration/*physiology[MESH]|Nerve Transfer/*methods[MESH]|Neural Pathways/injuries/physiopathology[MESH]|Paraplegia/pathology/physiopathology/surgery[MESH]|Radiography[MESH]|Recovery of Function/physiology[MESH]|Respiratory Physiological Phenomena[MESH]|Spinal Cord Injuries/pathology/physiopathology/*surgery[MESH]|Spinal Cord/pathology/physiopathology/*surgery[MESH]|Thoracic Vertebrae/diagnostic imaging/injuries/surgery[MESH]|Treatment Outcome[MESH] |
