Variability in surgical technique for brachioradialis tendon transfer. Evidence and implications.
BACKGROUND Transfer of the tendon of the brachioradialis muscle to the tendon of the flexor pollicis longus restores lateral pinch function after cervical spinal cord injury. However, the outcomes of the procedure are unpredictable, and the reasons for this are not understood. The purpose of this study was to document the degree of variability observed in the performance of this tendon transfer...
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 کاملThe influence of elbow position on the range of motion of the wrist following transfer of the brachioradialis to the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon.
BACKGROUND In patients who have an injury of the cervical spinal cord, the brachioradialis tendon may be transferred to the extensor carpi radialis brevis tendon to restore voluntary wrist extension. We hypothesized that the active range of motion of the wrist depends on the position of the elbow after this transfer because the brachioradialis changes length substantially during elbow flexion, ...
متن کاملBiomechanical analysis of the brachioradialis as a donor in tendon transfer.
Anatomic and biomechanical properties of the passive brachioradialis muscle were investigated to understand the limited excursion of this muscle seen during tendon transfer surgery. First, architectural measurements were performed on three fiber bundles obtained from four regions of the brachioradialis (10 specimens) chosen to represent the range of muscle fiber lengths across the brachioradial...
متن کاملPossible Entrapment of Sensory Branch of Radial Nerve by Split Brachioradialis Tendon: An Anatomical Variation
Entrapment of superficial branch of radial nerve is a rare clinical condition where it can be compressed at any point along its course in the forearm. The course of superficial branch of radial nerve between two slips of the split brachioradialis tendon may form a potential site of entrapment for the nerve. The incidence of such entrapment is rarely reported in the literature. Here we report a ...
