Objectives/Interrogation: Determine the effectiveness of concentrated punctate bone marrow injection into muscle after their denervation.
Methods: During 2016-2018, to 56 patients (35 men, 21 women) with peripheral nerves injury (brachial plexus - 43; axillary nerve - 3; radial nerve - 6; median nerve - 3; ulnar nerve - 1) concentrated bone marrow punctate injection into the denevated muscle was performed after nerve surgery. Scheme: 1 week prior to surgery - PRP injection, during surgery - injection of a concentrated bone marrow punctate into the target muscle, and then PRP injection in 2 weeks postop. Subsequently, injection of concentrated bone marrow punctate was repeated 1 time every three months until the moment of effective reinvention. The control of hypotrophy and reinnervation of the muscle was performed using sonography and ENMG.
Results and Conclusions: Control sonographic examinations have shown that the injection of a concentrated bone marrow punctate into the denervated muscle significantly slows the process of hypotrophy. In the ENMG of target muscles - large motor units was detected (which significantly exceeded those that could be recorded in the muscles which did not administer the injection of a concentrated bone marrow punctate). According to the authors, this suggests the stimulation of terminal collateral sprauting.
Injection of concentrated bone marrow punctate into the denervated muscles - signifycantly improves the process of their reinnervation due to the slowdown of hypotrophy, and stimulation of terminal collateral sprauting.
