The aim of this study was to determine if the phrenic nerve or the contralateral C7 nerve root yields a superior outcome for nerve transfer. <jats:bold><jats:italic>Methods:<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold> A total of 60 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly assigned to 1 of 3 groups. In Group A the phrenic nerve was used as the donor nerve; in Group B the contralateral C7 nerve root nerve was used as the donor nerve; in Group C the nerve was directly sutured. The results of behavioral assessment, electrophysiology, histology, nerve fiber count and muscle weight at 24 weeks postoperatively were recorded. <jats:bold><jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold> Group A showed a faster recovery time compared to Group B; however Group B showed a better functional recovery at the final outcome assessment compared to Group A. <jats:bold><jats:italic>Conclusion:<\/jats:italic><\/jats:bold> The contralateral C7 nerve root was better as the donor nerve for nerve transfer in the treatment of total brachial plexus avulsion.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/cjn.2016.302","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,27]],"date-time":"2016-09-27T07:33:08Z","timestamp":1474961588000},"page":"786-790","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Outcome Comparison of Nerve Transfer with Different Donor Nerves in a Rat Model"],"prefix":"10.1017","volume":"43","author":[{"given":"Xiaotian","family":"Jia","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Cong","family":"Yu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jianyun","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"56","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"S0317167116003024_ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.neulet.2012.10.047"},{"key":"S0317167116003024_ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0266-7681(05)80235-9"},{"key":"S0317167116003024_ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"287","DOI":"10.1002\/micr.1920100407","article-title":"Phrenic nerve transfer for brachial plexus motor neurotization","volume":"10","author":"Gu","year":"1989","journal-title":"Microsurgery"},{"key":"S0317167116003024_ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097\/00003086-199602000-00016"},{"key":"S0317167116003024_ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2012.12.013"},{"key":"S0317167116003024_ref9","first-page":"525","article-title":"An experimental study of the treatment of root avulsion of brachial plexus using contralateral C7 nerve neurotization (nerve transfer)","volume":"30","author":"Chen","year":"1992","journal-title":"Zhonghua Wai Ke Za Zhi"},{"key":"S0317167116003024_ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/mus.24110"},{"key":"S0317167116003024_ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/micr.20015"},{"key":"S0317167116003024_ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/micr.22137"},{"key":"S0317167116003024_ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.injury.2014.11.034"}],"container-title":["Canadian Journal of Neurological Sciences \/ Journal Canadien des Sciences Neurologiques"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/services\/aop-cambridge-core\/content\/view\/S0317167116003024","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,18]],"date-time":"2019-04-18T17:57:10Z","timestamp":1555610230000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/www.cambridge.org\/core\/product\/identifier\/S0317167116003024\/type\/journal_article"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,26]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"6","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2016,11]]}},"alternative-id":["S0317167116003024"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1017\/cjn.2016.302","relation":{},"ISSN":["0317-1671","2057-0155"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0317-1671","type":"print"},{"value":"2057-0155","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2016,9,26]]}}}
