To Assist with Surgical Planning
Carpal Tunnel Release​
-
Electrodiagnostics can quantify the degree of axonal damage to the median nerve, if present.
-
We use a validated index, with data on surgical outcomes, which helps direct decisions around decompression versus other treatment options
​​
Ulnar Nerve Transposition
-
Electrodiagnostics can quantify the degree of axonal damage to the ulnar nerve, if present.
Nerve Transfers/Grafts
-
Electrodiagnostics can identify viable nerves appropriate for transfer/graft, as well as anatomical variants, such as a median-to-ulnar nerve contribution (Martin Gruber anastomosis)
-
Electrodiagnostics can also identify post-surgical reinnervation, ahead of clinical examination
Spinal Canal Decompression
-
Surgical decompression is best reserved for leg-dominant pain.
-
Electrodiagnostics can help quantify the degree of axonal damage, as well as establish a pattern of chronicity, i.e. acute, versus acute on chronic, etc.
Thoracic Outlet Decompression
-
Electrodiagnostics can help quantify the degree of axonal damage to nerves of the lower trunk, if present
