HS007 FUNCTIONAL RANGE OF MOTION AS OUTCOME MEASUREMENT OF NERVE TRANSFER SURGERY IN PATIENTS WITH... Pelicia Lim, Bridget Hill and Natasha Van Zyl Austin Health, VIC B Purpose of Study: b Poor hand function due to tetraplegia in patients with cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) can significantly be improved by nerve transfer surgery. Nine patients had no reconstruction of the donor hemi-hamate site defect, one patient underwent autologous bone grafting, one patient had Gel Foam reconstruction, and three patients had synthetic bone graft used.
