226 Chapter 9 Conclusion Nerve reconstructions in extremity STS have rarely been described, yet may yield good results in LSS. Restoration of sensation in LSS is possible when performing nerve reconstruction and best results are seen after upper extremity defects. Reconstruction of motor nerve function can also restore satisfactory function without the use of free functioning muscle flaps. The use of multimodal therapy does not seem to preclude failure. Therefore nerve reconstructions should be considered as part of a reconstructive surgeon’s armamentarium after STS resection.
