Abstract
For the dynamic restoration of elevation of the angle of the mouth in facial paralysis six possible variations of free muscle and nerve graft techniques are described. One of the techniques using the previously denervated extensor digitorum brevis muscle with it motor nerve in continuity serving as a cross-face nerve graft, was used in eight patients. The results were disappointing and it is concluded that the method should be abandoned.
