Abstract
Partial nerve recovery either after expectant observation following an injury in-continuity or after nerve repair is not an uncommon occurrence. Historically, treatment strategies in these situations-late repair, revision repair, or acceptance of a mediocre result-were unsatisfying. The reverse end-to-side, or supercharging, nerve transfer was conceived to offer a more palatable option. Partially validated primarily through small animal research, supercharging has been rapidly translated to clinical practice. Many have extended the indications beyond the original intent, though the final place of this technique in the peripheral nerve surgeon's armamentarium is still yet to be determined.
