Enhanced reinnervation of the paralyzed orbicularis oculi muscle after insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) delivery to a nerve graft.

abstract：BACKGROUND:The anterolateral thigh (ALT) flap has been widely used in reconstruction of soft tissue defects. The anatomic variations of perforators increase the difficulties of flap elevation. The ABC system has been described for locating the most common three perforators in Western populations. Less evidence has been...
