We aimed to explore the effectiveness of nerve transfer as an intervention to restore neurological deficits caused by extremity tumors through direct nerve involvement, neural compression, or as a consequence of oncological surgery. A retrospective cohort study of consecutive cases was conducted, including all patients who underwent nerve transfers to restore functional deficits in limbs following soft tissue tumor resection. The threshold for a successful nerve transfer was a BMRC motor grade of 4/5 and sensory grade of 3-3+/4 with protective sensation. In total, 29 nerve transfers (25 motor and 4 sensory) were completed in 11 patients, aged 12-70 years at referral, over a 6-year period to 2020. This included 22 upper limb and 3 lower limb motor nerve transfers. The timing of delayed nerve transfer reconstructions was 1-15 months following primary oncological resection, with immediate simultaneous reconstructions performed in 4 cases. The threshold for success was achieved in 82% of upper limb and 33% of lower limb motor nerve transfers, while all sensory transfers were successful in restoring protective sensation. Nerve transfer surgery, a well-established technique in restoring deficits following traumatic nerve injury, is further demonstrably relevant in extremity oncological reconstruction, especially as it can be performed remotely to the tumor location or resection site and introduces a healthy nerve or fascicle to rapidly reinnervate distal muscles without sacrificing major function. This study further illustrates the importance of early recognition and referral to specialist services where multi-disciplinary surgical resection and reconstructive planning can be conducted.
