Reinnervation of free transferred muscle by nerve suture and nerve implantation in combination—An experimental study
1987
The authors have designed a method of combining nerve suture and nerve implantation to improve reinnervation and functional recovery of free transferred muscles. Experimental results on EMG recording, muscle power, muscle weight and histologic construction showed better recovery, compared with either mere nerve suture or nerve implantation. The change of motor end-plates with cholinesterase staining indicates more perfect reinnervation. The clinical significance of this method and certain considerations in performance are discussed in this paper.
