Welcome to the 2022 Northern New Jersey Spinal Cord Injury System Lecture Series. This podcast features Ida Fox, MD, FACS, professor of surgery at Washington University School of Medicine, St. Louis, MS. In this series, Dr. Fox discussed advancements in upper extremity reconstruction in cervical spinal cord injury (SCI) that have provided the opportunity to improve function and quality of life in people living with SCI. She described current approaches to restoring hand and upper extremity function in people with cervical SCI. Dr. Fox then reviewed the physiology of nerve transfer procedures (early <1 year post-SCI vs. late, even decades post-SCI) and strategies for pre-operative evaluation, testing, and discussion of choice. She also covered preoperative selection and surgical outcomes using validated measures and video content. In addition, challenges, including practice environment, priorities of rehabilitation (spontaneous recovery versus surgical intervention), availability of therapy, and outcomes-based preferences were discussed.
