The factors influencing its implementation in Canada have yet to be described.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An electronic survey was distributed to all members of the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgery (CSPS) using REDCap software. The survey examined 4 themes: previous training\/experience, practice volume of nerve pathologies, experience with nerve transfers, and approach to the treatment of CuTS and high ulnar nerve injuries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 49 responses were collected (12% response rate). Of all, 62% of surgeons would use an AIN to ulnar motor supercharge end-to-side (SETS) transfer for a high ulnar nerve injury. For patients with CuTS and signs of intrinsic atrophy, 75% of surgeons would add an AIN-SETS transfer to a cubital tunnel decompression. Sixty-five percent would also release Guyon\u2019s canal, and the majority (56%) use a perineurial window for their end-to-side repair. Eighteen percent of surgeons did not believe the transfer would improve outcomes, 3% cited lack of training, and 3% would preferentially use tendon transfers. Surgeons with hand fellowship training and those less than 30 years in practice were more likely to use nerve transfers in the treatment of CuTS ( P &lt; .05).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Most CSPS members would use an AIN-SETS transfer in the treatment of both a high ulnar nerve injury and severe CuTS with intrinsic atrophy.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/15589447231174482","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,21]],"date-time":"2023-06-21T07:10:51Z","timestamp":1687331451000},"page":"1075-1079","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Anterior Interosseus to Ulnar Motor Nerve Transfers: A Canadian Perspective"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"19","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1599-7184","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Spencer B.","family":"Chambers","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Western Ontario, London, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kitty Y.","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Western Ontario, London, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Douglas C.","family":"Ross","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Western Ontario, London, Canada"},{"name":"St. Joseph\u2019s Health Care, London, Ontario, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joshua A.","family":"Gillis","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Eastern Health, St. John\u2019s, Newfoundland, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-15589447231174482","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S1388-2457(02)00295-X."},{"key":"bibr2-15589447231174482","volume-title":"Green\u2019s Operative Hand Surgery","author":"Wolfe SW","year":"2011","edition":"6"},{"key":"bibr3-15589447231174482","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2013.04.044."},{"key":"bibr4-15589447231174482","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0022-510X(79)90222-3"},{"key":"bibr5-15589447231174482","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.expneurol.2009.03.031."},{"key":"bibr6-15589447231174482","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0749-0712(21)00485-6"},{"key":"bibr7-15589447231174482","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2012.12.020."},{"key":"bibr8-15589447231174482","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0028-1088230."},{"key":"bibr9-15589447231174482","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsa.2011.06.029"},{"key":"bibr10-15589447231174482","unstructured":"Doherty C, Miller T, Ross D.
