Facial Nerve.—The facial nerve has been successfully stretched in the treat-ment of spasmodic tic. This operation is highly recommended by of the facial nerve is sufficiently described in the chapter on nerveanastomosis. Exposure of Musculo-spiral (Radial) Nerve.—This nerve requires ex-posure and treatment, in most instances, because of injury or compression dueto fracture of the humerus. MUSCULO-SPIRAL NERVE 805. Fig. 953.—-{Schwartz and Ktiss.) Exposure of Nerve in Lower Part of Upper Arm.—Step i.—Make anoblique incision about 3 inches long in the groove between the supinator longusand brachialis anticus muscles. The whole of this incision is in the lowerthird of the arm. Divide the deep fascia. Separate the two muscles (; brachialis ant.) and expose the nerve which lies between them. Step 2.—Follow the nerve upwards to the site of injury being careful notto injure the companion artery. In a case operated on by the author the nervewas stretched as a thin fibrous bandover a sharp angle of bone for adistance of about 3^ inch. All ob-jectionable pieces of bone were cutaway; the nerve which was ad-herent to the bone was freed; alayer of brachialis anticus musclewas stitched between the nerveand the bone and the wound result was perfect after somemonths of appropriate for any reason it is impossible or improper to find the ne
