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
