Selective Peripheral Neurotomy, Median nerve, ArmAbstract
Selective peripheral neurotomy is a simple technique that, in trained hands, is a valuable tool in the functional surgical treatment of refractory spasticity in general and that of the distal upper limb, which is highly functional and therefore severely disabling.
