We used rectus femoris muscle in 24 dogs. We anastomosed the nutricient vessels and motor nerves of these muscles under a binocular Carl Zeiss surgical microscope. The transplanted muscle was followed up histopathologically and electromyographically. The changes due to ischemia and denervation and the state of regeneration were studied. We obtained normal M-waves by E.M.G. investigation four months foolowing the operation.}, number={4}, publisher={Turkish Association of Orthopaedics and Traumatology}
