UNASSIGNED: OBJECT Donor-side morbidity associated with contralateral @entity36381 (CC7) nerve transfer remains controversial. The purpose of this study was to evaluate functional deficits in the donor limb resulting from prespinal route CC7 nerve transfer. METHODS A total of 63 @entity1 were included. Forty-one @entity1 had undergone CC7 nerve transfer surgery at least 6 months previously and were assigned to one of 2 groups based on the duration of postoperative follow-up. Group 1 (n = 21) consisted of @entity1 who had undergone surgery between 6 months and 2 years previously, and Group 2 (n = 20) consisted of @entity1 who had undergone surgery more than 2 years previously. An additional 22 @entity1 who underwent CC7 nerve transfer surgery later than those in Groups 1 and 2 were included as a control group (Group 3). Results of preoperative testing in these @entity1 and postoperative testing in Groups 1 and 2 were compared. Testing included subjective assessments and objective examinations. An additional 3 @entity1 had undergone surgery more than 6 months previously but had severe @entity425 and were therefore evaluated separately; these 3 @entity1 were not included in any of the study groups. RESULTS The revised Short-Form McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ-2) was the only subjective test that showed a significant difference between Group 3 and the other 2 groups, while no significant differences were found in objective sensory, motor, or dexterity outcomes. The interval from injury to surgery for @entity1 with a normal SF-MPQ-2 score in Groups 1 and 2 was significantly less than for those with abnormal SF-MFQ-2 scores (2.4    1.1 months vs 4.6    2.9 months, p = 0.002). The 3 @entity1 with obvious @entity425 showed a tendency to gradually recover. CONCLUSIONS Although some @entity1 suffered from long-term sensory disturbances, resection of the @entity36381 nerve had little effect on the function of the donor limb. Shortening preoperative delay time can improve sensory recovery of the donor limb.
