Original Source: Direct neurectomy of the motor branches of the tibial nerve in hemiplegic adults: An assessment with a mean follow-up period of 11 years.
INTRODUCTION: Neurectomy of the tibial nerve plays a major role in the relief of disabling spasticity, which is refractory to drug treatment and physiotherapy. Although the immediate postoperative results are generally satisfactory, few evaluations of the procedure's long-term efficacy have been published. OBJECTIVE: To estimate the long-term efficacy of total or partial neurectomy of the motor branches of the tibial nerve (combined with additional orthopaedic surgery in some cases). METHOD: A descriptive,...
