Learning objectives

+ Understand the significance of upper-extremity nerve topography and axon counts in surgical planning for nerve reconstruction, and recognize the variability in existing literature that necessitates further research in this area.

+ Understand the intraneural topography and branching patterns of the common peroneal nerve, and how this knowledge can enhance surgical planning and outcomes for nerve reconstruction and transfers in cases of peroneal nerve injuries.

+ Understand the effectiveness of the H-shaped side-to-side nerve graft technique in enhancing nerve regeneration and reducing muscle atrophy in peripheral nerve injuries, as demonstrated in a pre-clinical rabbit model study.

+ Understand the potential role of guided plasticity in the rehabilitation of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and its implications for improving sensory function and treatment outcomes in patients with persistent symptoms following traditional surgical interventions.

+ Understand the complexities and surgical strategies involved in treating scar-tethered neuromas, specifically the application of the 'fly-over' nerve grafting technique in cases of peripheral nerve injuries.
