Study On Applied Anatomy And Histochemistry Of Free Gracilis Muscle Transplantation For The Treatment Of The Brachial Plexus Injury

Backgrand:The key of the nerve repair is to find the right way for the axis cylinder so that the effective appararus may recover their function. As one of the most effective methods to treat the nerve root avulsion at present, the free gracilis muscle transplantation needs to select profitable nerve fascicules groups. The attempt to perform nerve transfer to recover the function of the gracilis muscles demands the detailed knowledge about the fascicular group to the gracilis muscles in the nerve trunk. For this purpose, the microanatomical and histochemical studies had been performed using Chinese cadaveric specimens on the arrangement, localization and the histological feature of the fascicular groups to the gracilis muscles in the nerve trunk. Objective:To provide morphological and histological basis for the functional recovery of the free gracilis muscle transplantation after root avulsion of brachial plexus and the image may be used in teaching and studying, and to guide the microsurgical repair of the free gracilis muscle transplantation after the injuries of brachial plexus.
