Extra\u2010anatomic reconstructions through the transfer of peripheral nerves have gained clinical importance over the past decades. This contribution outlines the anatomic and histomorphometric basis for the transfer of the superficial branch of the radial nerve (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SBRN<\/jats:styled-content>) to the median nerve (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MN<\/jats:styled-content>) and the superficial branch of the ulnar nerve (<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SBUN<\/jats:styled-content>).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>The <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SBRN<\/jats:styled-content>,<jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\"> MN<\/jats:styled-content>, and <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SBUN<\/jats:styled-content> were identified in 15 specimens and the nerve transfer performed. A favorable site for coaptation was chosen and its location described using relevant anatomical landmarks. Histomorphometric characteristics of donor and target were compared to evaluate the chances of a clinical success.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A suitable location for dissecting the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SBRN<\/jats:styled-content> was identified prior to its first bifurcation. Coaptations were possible near the pronator quadratus muscle, approximately 22\u00a0cm distal to the lateral epicondyle of the humerus. The <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MN<\/jats:styled-content> and <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SBUN<\/jats:styled-content> had to be dissected interfasciculary over 82\u00a0\u00b1\u00a05.7\u00a0mm and 49\u00a0\u00b1\u00a05.5\u00a0mm, respectively. Histomorphometric analysis revealed sufficient donor\u2010to\u2010recipient axon ratios for both transfers and identified the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SBRN<\/jats:styled-content> as a suitable donor with high axon density.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our anatomic and histomorphometric results indicate that the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SBRN<\/jats:styled-content> is a suitable donor for the <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">MN<\/jats:styled-content> and <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">SBUN<\/jats:styled-content> at wrist level. The measurements show feasibility of this procedure and shall help in planning this sensory nerve transfer.
