Functional reconstruction of elbow flexion with latissimus dorsi muscle rotational transfer: two case reports

Functional reconstruction of elbow flexion with latissimus dorsi muscle rotational transfer: two case reports

Abstract Background We report two cases of biceps brachii and brachialis paralysis due to musculocutaneous nerve injury in which elbow joint flexion was reconstructed using rotational transfer of the latissimus dorsi muscle with sutures to the radial and ulnar tuberosities, thereby enabling flexion...
