Few surgical options are available for the late presentation of total paralysis of the hand and wrist. Functional freemuscle flap or transfer of the recovered biceps to the long flexors of the digits and flexor pollicis longus may be the last resort. Each case should be evaluated individually to select the best surgical option. ABSTRACT Objective: Hand reanimation for finger flexion in patients with total paralysis remains […]

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effects of photobiomodulation therapy in redox status, angiogenesis marker – vascular endothelial growth factor – and in the functional recovery in denervated muscle. Methods: A total of 32 female Wistar rats underwent a crush injury and were randomly divided into four groups: Light Emitting Diode Group 2 and Control Group 2 (muscle collected 2 days after injury), and Light Emitting Diode Group 21 and Control Group 21 (muscle collected 21 days afterinjury). Light Emitting Diode […]
