Abstract
- The text discusses the use of hyperselective neurectomy in managing upper limb spasticity, specifically focusing on the musculocutaneous nerve for elbow spasticity. The procedure involves cutting and immediately repairing the musculocutaneous nerve to reduce tone while preserving strength. The study reported promising results in reducing spasticity and improving range of motion, but highlighted concerns about dual innervation, sensory complications, and the need for more accurate evaluation methods. The authors recommend further research and caution in adopting this technique for elbow spasticity treatment. [Extracted from the article]
