[Difficulties in the surgical treatment of hyperthyroid myopathy].
Surgery can help patients affected with Graves' myositis. This surgery is very delicate because it is performed on muscles modified with retractile sclerosis transforming muscular fibers into fibrous and rigid strings. The surgical treatment must be decided with endocrinologists. Many surgical stages are usually necessary. Reunion procedures must be chosen, while unpredictable muscular resections must be banished.
