Abstract
Due to its role in hand function, median nerve injuries can have a significant impact on patients’ lives. Nerve transfers can be performed alone or in conjunction with tendon transfers to restore critical functions supplied by the median nerve, with a particular emphasis on restoring grasp, pinch, and sensation. Continued study into possible nerve transfers for median nerve injury has led to multiple options that can be tailored to the patient's demands, deficits, and injury pattern.
