[Free re-innervated gracilis muscle transfer to restore flexion or extension of the fingers: about three cases].
Free re-innervated gracilis muscle transfer is used to restore fingers or wrist flexion or extension after severe forearm injuries and when none muscle transfer is possible. The long-term function after this procedure is evaluated for three patients treated in our unit. This microsurgical transfer is technically demanding but allows good fingers mobility and good autonomy for daily activities and working.
