Materials and Methods: The review involves searches of various electronic databases and materials from the year 2008 to 2018, published in English. The key words used were nerve transfers, neuroplasticity, rehabilitation, and traumatic brachial plexus injury. After thorough reviewing the relevant articles were short listed. Results and Conclusion: 16 articles got shortlisted. There is considerable evidence that the brain possesses the ability to recognize and incorporate new information even after a peripheral lesion followed by its surgical reconstruction.
