To Assist with Surgical Planning
Carpal Tunnel Release
- Electrodiagnostics can quantify the degree of axonal damage to the median nerve, if present.
- We use a validated index, with data on surgical outcomes, which helps direct decisions around decompression versus other treatment options
Ulnar Nerve Transposition
- Electrodiagnostics can quantify the degree of axonal damage to the ulnar nerve, if present.
Nerve Transfers/Grafts
- Electrodiagnostics can identify viable nerves appropriate for transfer/graft, as well as anatomical variants, such as a median-to-ulnar nerve contribution (Martin Gruber anastomosis)
- Electrodiagnostics can also identify post-surgical reinnervation, ahead of clinical examination
Spinal Canal Decompression
- Surgical decompression is best reserved for leg-dominant pain.
- Electrodiagnostics can help quantify the degree of axonal damage, as well as establish a pattern of chronicity, i.e. acute, versus acute on chronic, etc.
Thoracic Outlet Decompression
- Electrodiagnostics can help quantify the degree of axonal damage to nerves of the lower trunk, if present
