Item Metadata only Effect of shorter nerve graft and selective motor branch of recipient nerve on nerve transfer surgery for elbow flexion in patients with brachial plexus injury(2023-11-01) Pengked K.; Laohaprasitiporn P.; Monteerarat Y.; Limthongthang R.; Vathana T.; Mahidol UniversityOBJECTIVE: The spinal accessory nerve (SAN) is commonly used as a donor nerve for reinnervation of elbow flexors in brachial plexus injury (BPI) reconstruction. However, no study has compared the postoperative outcomes between SAN...-to-musculocutaneous nerve (MCN) transfer and SAN-to-nerve to biceps (NTB) transfer. Thus, this study aimed to compare the postoperative time to recovery of elbow flexors between the two groups. METHODS: A total of 748 patients who underwent surgical treatment for BPIItem Metadata only Risk prediction model for unsuccessful elbow flexion recovery after nerve transfer surgery in patients with brachial plexus injury(2023-07-01) Neti N.; Laohaprasitiporn P.; Monteerarat Y.; Limthongthang R.; Vathana T.; Mahidol Universitytopic of interest to avoid an unsuccessful nerve transfer surgery. This study aimed to find strong predictive factors and develop a prediction model for unsuccessful functional elbow flexion recovery 2 years after a nerve transfer surgery in patients... to identify strong prognostic factors for unsuccessful nerve transfer surgery for elbow flexion. A simplified model was developed by rounding the coefficient to the nearest 0.5 score or an integer. Both original and simplified models were validated usingItem Metadata only A Multicenter Validation of a Novel Prediction Model for Elbow Flexion Recovery after Nerve Transfer Surgery in Brachial Plexus Injuries(2024-09-03) Laohaprasitiporn P.; Kittithamvongs P.; Monteerarat Y.; Suriyarak T.; Siripoonyothai S.; Neti N.; Laohaprasitiporn P.; Mahidol Universityrecovery of elbow flexion after the surgery. The model consisted of six variables, namely body mass index 23 kg/m2or more, smoking, total arm type, donor nerve, ipsilateral upper extremity fracture, and ipsilateral vascular injury. This study aimed... using metrics including c-statistic, Hosmer-Lemeshow goodness-of-fit test, calibration plot, calibration slope, and intercept. Results: Thirty-two percent of patients experienced unsuccessful elbow flexion recovery. Both the original and simplifiedItem Metadata only Comparative evaluation of posterior interosseous nerve strain in lateral approach to radial head fixation: a cadaveric study(2025-01-01) Sangkamard K.; Limthongthang R.; Laohaprasitiporn P.; Vathana T.; Monteerarat Y.; Sangkamard K.; Mahidol Universityplate fixation of radial head fractures using upper limb cadaveric models. Methods: Fourteen fresh-frozen upper extremity specimens were dissected with Kaplan (n = 7) and Kocher (n = 7) approaches, and the PIN was exposed at the anterior elbow with a...° elbow flexion. Both standard and extensile versions were tested under scenarios with and without lateral ulnar collateral ligament (LUCL) insufficiency, employing a custom K-wire jig to standardize traction forces. Results: The standard and extensileItem Metadata only Free Functional Muscle Transfer in Brachial Plexus Injury Patients With Subclavian Artery Injury Using Arteriovenous Loop Grafts(2025-01-01) Limthongthang R.; Wongtrakul S.; Laohaprasitiporn P.; Monteerarat Y.; Vathana T.; Limthongthang R.; Mahidol University% for the single-stage operation and 33% for the two-stage operation. The two-stage operation led to increased operative time, extended hospital stays, and anastomosis mismatch challenges. Successful cases regained gracilis muscle motor power for elbow flexion
