Re-animation of muscle flaps for improved function in dynamic myoplasty.

abstract：:Over the last 40 years, various factors that influence the outcome of peripheral nerve surgery have been recognized. Some of these factors, such as age of the patient and time interval between injury and surgery, cannot be controlled by the surgeon. On the other hand, other factors related to technical details are the...
