Biceps Muscle Severe Cut-split by an Electrical Saw - Tips & Tricks for Optimal Muscular Suturing

Description

In this informative video, Dr. Sergio Rowinski from São Paulo, Brazil, presents a detailed examination of a challenging case involving a severe biceps injury caused by a circular saw. The incident occurred in July 2015 when a 60-year-old construction worker sustained a serious cut that resulted in the biceps being torn into two pieces while fortunately sparing any neurovascular damage. Dr. Rowinski discusses the surgical approach taken, including various suture techniques used to reconnect the muscle and highlight the significance of incorporating the epimysium to promote effective healing. Throughout the video, he emphasizes the lack of consensus in literature regarding the best suture methods for muscle lacerations, stressing the importance of meticulous craftsmanship in suturing, regardless of the technique employed. As the case progresses, the video showcases the patient’s recovery, demonstrating his regained functional movement, including pronation and supination of the affected arm. The patient's positive outcome is attributed to the well-executed surgical repair, allowing for early rehabilitation and a return to regular activities within a couple of months post-surgery. The presentation concludes with Dr. Rowinski encouraging viewers to engage with the video, subscribe, and reach out for further questions.
