Rectus Muscle Transposition Surgery

Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology & Strabismus, 1981
Thirty patients had vertical offsets of their horizontal rectus insertions to correct a coexisting vertical deviation while 14 patients had horizontal offsets of their vertical recti to correct a horizontal deviation (total of 44 patients). The average effect of surgery was about 0.5 prism diopters per mm of surgery, both for a vertical or a horizontal

Treatment of Inferior Oblique Muscle Overaction With Myectomy or With Anterior Transposition

European Journal of Ophthalmology, 1996
This paper presents a comparative study of the effectiveness of myectomy and anterior transposition in the treatment of inferior oblique muscle overaction. We operated 160 patients with overaction of the inferior oblique muscle. Eighty patients (148 eyes)

Muscle transposition in lesions of the ischemic leg

The American Journal of Surgery, 1983
Ulcerative lesions of the ischemic leg that cannot be revascularized present serious problems. Under carefully defined conditions, a muscle transposition procedure, with or without skin grafting, may be successful. The indications and contraindications, risks, and technical considerations have been presented.

Transposition of Laryngeal Muscles for Cricothyroid Paralysis

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1969
THIS ARTICLE is the second in a series of experimental studies undertaken to develop a method for correcting a paralysis of the cricothyroid muscle. In the first paper 1 an investigation was made of the physiological properties of the sternothyroid and thyrohyoid muscles in the dog; findings from this study led to the development of an experimental ...

Management of Ulcers of the Leg by Muscle Transposition

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1979
Chronic stasis ulcers of the lower extremity can prove difficult to treat. In the event that conservative treatment fails, one approach is to excise the ulcer, ligate the incompetent perforating veins, and close the defect by muscle transposition, followed by application of skin grafts to the transposed muscles.

Tripartite Frontalis Muscle Flap Transposition for Blepharoptosis

Annals of Plastic Surgery, 1993
Transposition of frontalis muscle to the tarsus is an effective technique for correction of blepharoptosis with poor levator function. This is refined by division of the frontalis muscle flap into three strips, which are sutured separately to the upper tarsal border.

EXTENSIONS AND FURTHER APPLICATIONS OF MUSCLE FLAP TRANSPOSITION

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1977
Muscle flap transposition requires a precise knowledge of the vascular and functional anatomy of the muscles used. Safe, effective, one-stage transpositions can be performed in many body regions, as demonstrated in the brief review of our recent experience with this procedure.

THE COVERAGE OF VASCULAR REPAIRS BY MUSCLE TRANSPOSITION

The Journal of Trauma: Injury, Infection, and Critical Care, 1976
The coverage of exposed arteries, repaired by suture or grafting, may present difficulties. The currently accepted methods have been reviewed, and the use of transposed muscle is suggested as a possible alternative method. Success is partly governed by adhering to important principles. An illustrative case report is presented.

Transtibial transposition of gastrocnemius muscle and musculocutaneous flaps

British Journal of Plastic Surgery, 1992
The medial and lateral gastrocnemius muscle flaps have become the workhorses of proximal calf reconstruction since their initial description by McCraw et al. in 1977. Since that time many authors have presented varying and often ingenious techniques by which the range of these flaps can be expanded. This report adds another modification of the standard

Muscle Transposition for Facial Reanimation: Indications and Results

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, 1984
Temporalis muscle transposition was used as an effective technique to reanimate the paralyzed face. It was employed under the following general conditions: (1) the peripheral facial neuromuscular system was unsuitable; (2) the central stump was not available for grafting and the patient elected not to have another cranial nerve sacrificed; (3) the ...
