Sciatic-to-Femoral Nerve End-to-End Coaptation for Proximal Lower Extremity Function in Patients With Acute Flaccid Myelitis: Technical Note and Review of the Literature.

We present technical descriptions of bilateral sciatic-to-femoral nerve neurotization for the restoration of quadriceps function in 4 patients with AFM. The sciatic nerve fascicles are a reasonable alternative donor nerve for patients with proximal muscle paralysis and limited donor options in the lower extremity.
