hi wildman,
yes, if happens sometimes. Muscle atrophy can occur following nerve transposition.
Why was it done? as sometimes your atrophy might be related to pre operative condition.
It takes a bit longer for a person to notice the atrophy. So maybe, the atrophy had started before the surgery and you have noticed it now as after surgery you have found some time , for yourself, to notice it. I might be right.
regards
Hi wildman,
I had this surgery over 2 years ago now and have to be honest it has taken this long to get back to almost normal, from the beginning I was glad that the pain was gone, but the side of my hand and my 4th and 5th fingers are still slightly numb and always will be I think, as is my elbow too. From an atrophy point of view this was much improved in a matter of months, but I think that my grip will never be the same. I know I might sound a bit negative, but I'm not I am glad I had the surgery. Hope your recovery is quick, good luck.
