<unk>  includes a number of surgical interventions that can help improve the quality of life of a patient with<unk> . Loss of<unk> -limb function in patients with following a spinal cord injury is a major barrier to regain autonomy. The functional abilities of a<unk>  patient increase substantially for instance if the patient can extend the elbow. This can increase the workspace and give a better use of a manual wheelchair. To be able to hold objects a patient needs to have a functional pinch grip, this can be useful for performing daily living activities. A large survey in patients with<unk>  demonstrated that these patients give preference to improving<unk>  extremity function above other lost functions like being able to walk or sexual function. Surgical procedures do exist to improve the function of the<unk>  patient's arms, but these procedures are performed in fewer than 10% of the<unk>  patients. Each<unk>  patient is unique, and therefore surgical indication should be based on the remaining physical abilities, wishes and expectations of the patient. In 2007 a resolution was presented and accepted at the world congress in reconstructive hand<unk>  and rehabilitation in<unk> , that stated that every patient with<unk>  should be examined and informed about the options for reconstructive<unk>  of the<unk>  arms and hands. This resolution demonstrates mostly the necessity to increase the awareness on this subject amongst physicians.
