Among the 21 Patients Who Underwent Nerve Transfer to Improve Shoulder Function, Four Patients Sustained Their Axillary Nerve Injury during Reverse Total Shoulder Arthroplasty and One during Arthroscopic Rotator Cuff Surgery

Patient Characteristics and Outcome Measure	Double Nerve Transfer after Shoulder Surgery, Mean (SD)
Age	64.25 (7.08)
	n = 4
	Range, 54–73
Injury to surgery (d)	197.5 (91.18)
	n = 4
	Range, 77–327
Follow-up (d)	463.25 (248.71)
	n = 4
	Range, 236–873
Preoperative shoulder abduction (MRC-MS)	1.75 (1.09)
	n = 4
	Range, 0–3
Postoperative shoulder abduction (MRC-MS)	2.25 (0.43)
	n = 4
	Range, 2–3
Shoulder abduction mean difference in MRC-MS	0.5 (0.86)
	n = 4
	Range, 0–2
No. patients with final MRC-MS ≥4	0 (0/4)
Video measured shoulder abduction AROM	36.5 (9.5)
	n = 2
	Range, 28–46
Video measured shoulder flexion AROM	56.0 (12.0)
	n = 2
	Range, 45–69
DASH score	26.3 (15.4)
	n = 2
	Range, 11–42

These patients were noted to have particularly poor outcomes and were excluded from subsequent analysis. AROM, active range of motion.
