Previously, when part of a muscle and the terminal part of its nerve with its branches were removed through trauma, no technique for repair was available. A new technique for direct neurotization of denervated muscles is presented. This consists of the insertion of the distal stump of a nerve graft, divided into many small branches, directly into the muscle. Very good results were obtained in eight clinical cases of severely damaged muscles which were operated on according to this technique.
