Comparison of six methods for the assessment of ischemia-reperfusion injury in skeletal muscle following composite tissue allotransplantation.

abstract：:Background The lateral branch of the thoracodorsal nerve (LBTN) is used for nerve transfer in facial, musculocutaneous, axillary nerve injuries and for irreparable C5, C6 spinal nerve lesions and accessory nerve defects. For a successful surgical outcome, the nerve to be used in nerve transfer should be of adequate le...
