Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Myoplasty surgical closures in amputations involve attaching muscle tissue to other muscle tissue, known as muscle-to-muscle closure. This helps provide shape and structure to the residual limb, which can help with prosthetic fit and function. Tendon-to-bone and tendon-to-tendon closures are also sometimes used in amputation procedures, but these are not specifically referred to as myoplasty closures.
