Nerve transfer of the anterior interosseous nerve to the thenar branch of the median nerve – an anatomical and histological analysis

Nerve transfer has become a vital method in the reconstruction of hand function. Reconstructing the motor function to the thenar musculature has proven to be difficult and is rarely satisfactory following direct anatomic repair. Aim of this investigation was to describe the anatomic results obtained by transferring the anterior interosseous nerve to the thenar branch of the median nerve and analyze the histomorphometric results.
