The Agonist-Antagonist Myoneural Interface in a Transtibial Amputation.

Background: The agonist-antagonist myoneural interface (AMI) technique at the time of transtibial amputation involves the use of agonist-antagonist muscle pairs to restore natural contraction-stretch relationships and to improve proprioceptive feedback when utilizing a prosthetic limb.
Description: Utilizing the standard incision for a long posterior myofasciocutaneous flap, the lateral and medial aspects of the limb are dissected, identifying and preserving the superficial peroneal and saphenous nerve, respectively. The tendons of the tibialis anterior and peroneus longus are transected distally to allow adequate length for the AMI constructs.
Article Synopsis
- * A study of patients who underwent limb salvage between 2011 and 2020 revealed that 67% had associated nerve injuries, predominantly affecting the ulnar nerve, and more than half of these patients required surgical intervention.
- * Chronic pain and reduced functionality are prevalent among patients with upper extremity peripheral nerve injuries, highlighting the need for better recognition and management strategies in trauma care.
Purpose: This investigation describes the outcomes of pediatric ganglion cysts in a prospective cohort that elected not to undergo cyst aspiration or surgical treatment. Our primary aim was to investigate the rate of spontaneous resolution over time among the subset of patients who did not undergo specific treatments.
Methods: Children (aged ≤18 years) who presented to the clinic with ganglion cysts of the hand or wrist were enrolled in a prospective two-center registry between 2017 and 2021.
Video consultations in reproductive medicine: Safety, feasibility and patient satisfaction.

Objective: To study the safety and feasibility of virtual consultations in reproductive medicine.
Design: This was a descriptive cross-sectional study involving subfertile patients attending a video consultation between September 2021 and August 2022. Clinicians conducting virtual consultations during the same period responded to a parallel survey for healthcare professionals.
