Advances in Nerve Repair and Reconstruction Saturday, October 17 Sat, Oct 17 2:00-3:30 p.m. CDT
Advances in microsurgical technique, biomaterials, and nerve transfer strategies have expanded reconstructive options for peripheral nerve injury. This session provides an update on contemporary approaches to nerve repair and reconstruction, including indications, timing, and expected outcomes.
Faculty will review emerging techniques and evidence supporting newer technologies while emphasizing clinical decision-making in real-world practice.
Upon completion of this learning activity, participants should be able to:
Describe current techniques for nerve repair, grafting, and nerve transfers.
Identify indications for advanced nerve reconstruction strategies.
Apply evidence-based principles to optimize nerve recovery.
Recognize limitations and realistic outcome expectations of nerve reconstruction.
