Faculty: Fraser Leversedge, MD and David Brogan, MD
October 25 – 26, 2024
Denver, CO
The cause and extent of peripheral nerve injury in the upper extremities can vary widely. Patients experiencing unresolved pain, sensory loss, or motor weakness in the shoulder, arm, or hand need to be considered for surgical treatment options. Dr. Brogan and Dr. Leversedge will review management strategies of commonly encountered, challenging nerve injuries and conditions affecting the upper extremity for which nerve-focused interventions may provide encouraging outcomes. Joint denervation, neuroma management, neurolysis, and targeted muscle reinnervation will be discussed using a case-based approach. Attendees will participate in small group cadaveric dissections, receiving personalized attention from faculty reviewing neural anatomy and surgical techniques.
“Small class. Great faculty.”
“Seeing the anatomy was amazing!”
“Lots of practice time in the lab and good instruction.”
Our April 15 NERVE MASTER cadaveric course focused on upper and lower extremity nerve reconstruction in the amputee patient for the management of neuropathic pain. Attendees participated in a hands-on lab session on targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), regenerative peripheral nerve interface (RPNI), and associated nerve repair techniques. Special thanks to our faculty, Dr. Jason Ko and Dr. Jason Souza, for their leadership and contributions.
