The use of facial cross-grafting in acquired recent unilateral palsy provides spontaneity and emotional activation. Masseteric nerve for animation has mainly been described reinnervation neuromuscular transplants, babysitter procedures, or direct cooptation. simultaneous a single procedure cross-facial grafting masseteric cooptation not described.Eight patients underwent using stage mean duration was 10.2 months (range, 1-23 months).Voluntary contraction response to activation observed after...
Background Recently, the scapular tip free flap has been popularized as a valuable option for bone reconstruction of head and neck area. Analyses perioperative long‐time morbidity are crucial to enable complete comprehension this technique will be presented in paper. Methods Perioperative long‐term flaps harvesting were analyzed cohort 19 patients. Local complications ambulation‐time used assess results, while Constant–Murley DASH scores evaluate on shoulder functions. Results minimal (three...

According to embodied simulation theories, others’ emotions are recognized by the unconscious mimicking of observed facial expressions, which requires implicit activation motor programs that produce a specific expression. Motor responses performed during expression given emotion hypothesized be directly linked autonomic associated with emotional behavior.
