[Vascularized nerve grafts].

Conventional nerve grafts initially survive by plasmatic absorption till within 5 to 7 days revascularization has developed originating from the receptor site. Conventional nerve grafts degenerate and regenerate in a manner different from sectioned nerve endings. Their results, although satisfactory, are predictable. The vascularized nerve graft figures among the other tissue transplants with microvascular anastomoses. So far several nerves have been used as donor grafts: the anterior branch of the radial nerve, the sural nerve, the medial cutaneous branch of the forearm. The cubital nerve can also be used in cases of brachial plexus paralysis but is associated with a definitive lesion of the lower roots. Vascularized nerve grafts have been used in 7 cases in extremely unfavorable situations: 3 had a functional result: our experience is too small for conclusions.

[The surgical treatment of rupture of the rectus femoris muscle in the sportsman (author's transl)].

Ruptures of the middle and lower part of the rectus femoris muscle are seen essentially in the footballer during a shoot at goal. Often unrecognised initially, they warrant surgical treatment in the sportsman. The anatomical appearances of these complete or partial ruptures are described. The authors propose a new technique of reinsertion, relying upon the posterior aponeurotic layer, using non-absorbable sutures. Results were satisfactory in 10 cases out of 11.
