Implanted passive engineering mechanism improves hand function after tendon transfer surgery: a cadaver-based study.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate if a new tendon transfer surgical procedure that uses an implanted passive engineering mechanism for attaching multiple tendons to a single donor muscle in place of directly suturing the tendons to the muscle improves hand function in physical interaction tasks such as grasping. METHODS The tendon transfer surgery for high median ulnar pals...
متن کاملImplanted Miniature Engineering Mechanisms in Tendon-Transfer Surgery Improve Robustness of Post-Surgery Hand Function
INTRODUCTION Upper-extremity tendon transfer surgeries have been routinely performed since the 1970s for conditions such as stroke, paralysis, spinal muscle atrophy, nerve or muscle trauma, and congenital disorders. The surgery involves re-routing one or more tendons from an non-functioning muscle and directly suturing it to a functioning donor muscle in order to partially restore hand function...
متن کاملTailoring Tendon Transfer Surgery and Rehabilitation for a Musician: A Case Study
Tendon transfers in hand patients are a commonly performed procedure after extensor tendon rupture. However, the standard side to side technique is not applicable in every patient. We present a case of a musician with unique demands to demonstrate the option to customize surgical technique and therapy regimen to the unique needs of each patient. An extensor indicis proprius to extensor digit...
متن کاملA Comparative Study on Tendon Transfer Surgery in Patients with Radial Nerve Palsy
BACKGROUND Lesions in peripheral nerves are highly prevalent in the upper extremity. The present study compares different tendon transfer surgeries in patients with radial nerve palsy. METHODS Fifty patients with radial nerve palsy were randomly selected among patients who referred to Tehran 15th Khordad Hospital during 2006-2011. They were divided into two groups of 17 and 33 subjects. Sing...
