FIELD: medicine.SUBSTANCE: musculocutaneous vascularised and innervated island flap comprising the active greater teres muscle, a descending branch of the circumflex scapular artery, and the subscapular nerve is separated. The above flap is moved towards the elbow joint, with its muscular portion placed between the caput mediale and caput longum of the triceps muscle of the arm and anchored to a transition point of the tendon portion of the triceps muscle into the muscular one. The greater teres muscle is preserved attached to the humerus. As it may be required to bring the above flap down, it is possible to dissect away its attachment point of the greater teres muscle from the humerus. A tendon auto- or allograft is used to anchor the flap to the transition point of the tendon portion of the triceps muscle into the muscular one if the muscular portion does not appear to be long enough.EFFECT: eliminating flexion contracture in the elbow joint and recovering the active flexion of the forearm in the motor unit deficiency.4 cl, 7 dwg, 1 ex |
