ObjectiveWe designed this study using super-selective intraoperative cervical nerve root stimulation aiming to support decision making about complete or partial contralateral C7 (cC7) nerve root transfer in patients with multiple cervical root avulsion injury.MethodsSuper-selective intraoperative stimulations of anterior, lateral, medial and posterior aspect of C5 to C8 nerve roots were performed. Compound muscle action potentials (CMAP) were recorded in the lateral part of the deltoid (DM), long head of biceps brachii (BCM), brachioradial (BRM), long head of triceps brachii (TCM), and extensor digitorum communis (EDC) muscle. Muscle strength was documented immediately after cC7 transfer procedures and on scheduled follow-up visits according to the Medical Research Council (MRC) scale.ResultsIn the DM, stimulation of the posterior aspect of C5 resulted in the largest CMAP amplitudes (2.0 mV ±1.9; 80% ± 28.3). The BCM CMAPs induced by the different aspects of C6 all revealed homogenous stimulation results. Stimulation of the lateral aspect of C7 induced the largest amplitude of TCM CMAPs (1.3 mV ± 1.0; 67.1% ± 43.3). CMAP amplitudes of individual muscles and individual contributions of cervical nerve roots to the TCM varied between subjects. Overall donor side morbidity was low, no permanent motor deficit occurred.ConclusionA super-selective intraoperative cervical nerve root stimulation may help minimize donor side morbidity in transfer procedures. Individual differences of cervical nerve root innervation pattern need to be addressed in future electrophysiological studies.SignificanceOur study outlines individual differences of cervical nerve root innervation pattern.
