Treatment of neurogenic torticollis by microvascular lysis of the accessory nerve roots - indication, technique, and first results.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Elbow flexion and shoulder abduction are the primary goals in brachial plexus surgery; however, reinnervation of the triceps is also an objective to be considered, as restoration of elbow extension improves the stabilization of the elbow and can provide a more powerful grasp. This study aims to demonstrate t...
