Implication

This study demonstrates a new nerve transfer technique, improving reinnervation in upper motor neuron syndrome, highlighting its feasibility and safety.

Key Points

Successful reinnervation of the flexor carpi ulnaris muscle was confirmed through electrophysiological tests.
Ten rats underwent a contralateral ulnar-to-ulnar nerve transfer procedure, leading to successful nerve regeneration.
Muscle biopsies revealed no significant changes in muscle fiber type composition or collagen content.
The contralateral nerve transfer model is reproducible and effective for future research on upper motor neuron syndrome.
