Six months after the injury, the patient still had persistent hand weakness and wished to regain function in his first and second digits. Transfer of the extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) branch of the radial nerve to the anterior interosseous nerve (AIN) was performed to restore motor function. The patient did well after the surgery, although it may take 12\u201324 months for benefits to fully manifest. Pertinent surgical anatomy and techniques are highlighted in this video demonstration.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>\n                    The video can be found here:\n                    <jats:ext-link xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"https:\/\/stream.cadmore.media\/r10.3171\/2022.10.FOCVID2287\">https:\/\/stream.cadmore.media\/rr10.3171\/2022.10.FOCVID2287<\/jats:ext-link>\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/2022.10.focvid2287","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,1]],"date-time":"2023-01-01T09:00:53Z","timestamp":1672563653000},"page":"V11","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Transfer of extensor carpi radialis brevis branch of radial nerve to anterior interosseous nerve for lower trunk brachial plexopathy after motor vehicle accident"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Alison M.","family":"Westrup","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kiana Y.","family":"Prather","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaochun","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark E.","family":"Stephens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Andrew H.","family":"Jea","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neurosurgery, University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1754","reference":[{"issue":"1","key":"b1","series-title":"Indian J Plast Surg","first-page":"36","article-title":"Pronator quadratus to extensor carpi radialis brevis nerve transfer in C5-C7 or C5-C8 brachial plexus injuries for independent wrist extension","volume":"53","author":"Bhatia A","year":"2020","unstructured":"Bhatia A, Salama M.
