For which surgical method is the muscle artificially inserted into a bone and covered with periosteum and some layer of fat?
  1. Osteomyodesis
  2. Myodesis
  3. Myoplasty
Explanation
Answer: B - In myodesis surgery, the muscle is artificially inserted into a bone and covered with periosteum and some layer of fat.

Osteomyodesis is a similar procedure to myodesis but the periostium is strippled.

Myoplasty is the attachment of anterior and posterior compartment muscles to each other over the end of the bone. This is the surgical method used in amputation.
