Neurosurgical Focus covers a different topic in-depth each month. Enhanced by color images and video clips, each peer-reviewed issue constitutes a state-of-the-art “textbook chapter” in the field of neurosurgery.

While Neurosurgical Focus is open-access and has been free to the public since 1996, claiming CME credit is free only for AANS members. Each monthly issue offers 3 credits - earn up to 36 CME annually.

Upon completion of this CME activity, participants should be able to:
1. The reader will develop a better understanding of the anatomical basis underlying peripheral nerve surgery techniques.
2. The reader will develop a greater knowledge of the technical basics (non-peripheral nerve specialists) and advanced nerve reconstruction strategies (for more experienced peripheral nerve surgeons).
3. The reader will learn about specific disorders with loss of function and the appropriate use of nerve reconstruction techniques towards regaining desired functions.
4. The reader will gain a greater appreciation of the potential and/or expanding applications of nerve reconstruction.
