The art of rewiring. Jennifer Ernst on innovative amputation medicine. | Ottobock

Working in the field of nerve regeneration has a lot in common with being an electrician, says Dr. Jennifer Ernst.

She is Head of Innovative Amputation Medicine, Department of Trauma Surgery, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover (MHH). A specialist in Plastic and Aesthetic Surgery, Jennifer has special knowledge in modern surgical techniques such as targeted muscle reinnervation (TMR), osseointegration and Agonist-Antagonist-Myoneuronal-Interface (AMI).
In this episode of Taste of Bionics, together with Ranga, she explores the main advantages of such procedures, the current limitations and existing challenges. Where is the development in amputation medicine headed and what will the next milestones be?
