Flexor digitorum superficialis lasso tendon transfer in isolated ulnar nerve palsy: A functional evaluation

Immediate Postoperative Active Mobilization Versus Immobilization Following Tendon Transfer for Claw Deformity Correction in the Hand

“…13,15 The individual components of assessment used in the published reports, that is, deformity correction, integration of transfer, and digit flexion, have similarities to the assessments according to Palande's criteria 6,7 used in the present study and can therefore be compared ( Table 6). The satisfactory (ie, combined good and fair) results of deformity correction with IPAM are similar to those in the published reports.…”

“…The satisfactory (ie, combined good and fair) results of deformity correction with IPAM are similar to those in the published reports. 1,[13][14][15][16] Integration and digit flexion data on the 9 hands by Ozkan 13 are too small a number for any valuable comparison. In the present study, donor digit PIP joint flexion deformity occurred in 16% with immediate mobilization compared to 25% with immobilization.…”

Transfert tendineux palliatif utilisant le Flexor Superficialis Digitorum dans les paralysies intrinsèques d'origine lépreuse

“…Les séries décrites dans la litté-rature sont rarement homogènes et non comparables. Les résul-tats analysés ne différencient pas toujours l'aspect esthétique (correction de la déformation en griffe) de l'aspect fonctionnel (restauration de la flexion active métacarpophalangienne) [6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. Les auteurs ayant utilisé le procédé décrit par Bunnel-Littler rendent compte de résultats favorables.…”

Results of Dynamic Claw Correction in Ulnar nerve Palsy

“…An insertion into the lateral band may be preferred if Bouvier's test is negative (complex claw having stiffness of IP joints), but it should be remembered that PIP joint hyperextension may occur 12 Brand, Riordan, and others described the use of wrist-level motors to treat clawing and integrate finger flexion as well as augment grip strength 4,9,10,13 . The Flexor carpi radialis, Extensor carpi radialis longus, Extensor carpi radialis brevis or brachioradialis may be used.…”

“…Burkhalter recommended inserting the tendon on the proximal phalanx instead of the lateral band, which can prevent PIP joint hyperextension 9 . Zancolli with Lasso insertion improves MCP joint flexion and simultaneously avoiding PIP hyperextension 5,10 . The splitted 4 slips of donor FDS tendon (for 4 digits correction) have ample length for a lasso procedure and a Pulvertaft weave for a strong insertion 11 .…”
