In targeted muscle reinnervation surgery, especially in a secondary setting, it may be challenging to identify the motor branches within fibrotic tissue. We demonstrate the sciatic nerve in an above-knee-amputation model. After identifying the major motor nerve, one adopted a side-to-side approach from the sciatic nerve with a nerve stimulator. Then, we could search for the motor branches of the hamstring (green flash) and biceps femoris (red flash) by noticing any muscle contraction.
