Abstract
Muscle viability is an important clinical issue confronting surgeons who manage severe muscle injury. This is because nonviable muscle, aside from being nonfunctional, is at high risk for infection. Because the determination of tissue viability is so important in patients with severe muscle necrosis, they may be subjected to multiple operations in vigilance of avoiding sepsis.
