The art of rewiring – Jennifer Ernst on innovative amputation medicine

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 rein nervation (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?
