Double free gracilis muscle transfer after complete brachial plexus injury: First Canadian experience.
Traumatic brachial plexus root avulsions are devastating injuries, and are complex and challenging to reconstruct. Double free muscle transfer using the gracilis muscles is a potentially effective method of restoring upper extremity function. The authors report on the first two patients treated using this technique in Canada. Both sustained traumatic brachial plexus root avulsion injuries resul...
متن کاملComparison of one-stage free gracilis muscle flap with two-stage method in chronic facial palsy
Abstract Background: Rehabilitation of facial paralysis is one of the greatest challenges faced by reconstructive surgeons today. The traditional method for treatment of patients with facial palsy is the two-stage free gracilis flap which has a long latency period of between the two stages of surgery. Methods: In this paper, we prospectively compared the results of the one-stage gracilis flap ...
متن کاملRectus Femoris to Gracilis Transfer with Fractional Lengthening of the Vasti Muscles: Surgical Technique
1 Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA Stiff knee gait is often seen in patients with upper motor neuron injury. It describes a gait pattern with relative loss of sagittal knee motion. This aberrant gait interferes with foot clearance during swing, often leading to inefficient compensatory mechanisms and ambulatory dysfunction. At our institution, we h...
متن کاملSuction-modified Bergström muscle biopsy technique: experience with 13,500 procedures.
INTRODUCTION Bergström needle muscle biopsies have been used by exercise physiologists for over 35 years but have been less accepted by neuromuscular clinicians due to size concerns. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed over 13,500 muscle Bergström needle biopsies done over a 21-year period to determine sampling success, patient/subject experience, and complications. We compared sample yield b...
