Abstract
We report a case in which tendon transplantation was performed for femoral nerve injery cased by the excision of Schwannoma in the femoral nerve. The patient was 41-year-old man and gait disturbance started as the femoral nerve was amputated when Schwannoma in the retroperitoneal space was excised. As the symptoms were not improved, transplantation of tendons was performed according to the modified Schwartzmann method in which semitendinosus and biceps femoris tendons were attached to the patella by suture. Since one year postoperation, extension of the knee joint became possible enabling the patient to walk by himself.
