  • Tendon Transfer or Tendon graft for ruptured finger extensor Tendons in rheumatoid hands
    Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), 2010
    Co-Authors: U S Chung
    Abstract:

    We evaluated the clinical outcome of Tendon reconstruction using Tendon graft or Tendon Transfer and the parameters related to clinical outcome in 51 wrists of 46 patients with rheumatoid arthritis with finger extensor Tendon ruptures. At a mean follow-up of 5.6 years, the mean metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint extension lag was 8° (range, 0–45) and the mean visual analogue satisfaction scale was 74 (range, 10–100). Clinical outcome did not differ significantly between Tendon grafting and Tendon Transfer. The MP joint extension lag correlated with the patient’s satisfaction score, but the pulp-to-palm distance did not correlate with patient satisfaction. We conclude that both Tendon grafting and Tendon Transfer are reliable reconstruction methods for ruptured finger extensor Tendons in rheumatoid hands.

  • Tendon Transfer or Tendon graft for ruptured finger extensor Tendons in rheumatoid hands

    Abstract:

    We evaluated the clinical outcome of Tendon reconstruction using Tendon graft or Tendon Transfer and the parameters related to clinical outcome in 51 wrists of 46 patients with rheumatoid arthritis with finger extensor Tendon ruptures. At a mean follow-up of 5.6 years, the mean metacarpophalangeal (MP) joint extension lag was 8 degrees (range, 0-45) and the mean visual analogue satisfaction scale was 74 (range, 10-100). Clinical outcome did not differ significantly between Tendon grafting and Tendon Transfer. The MP joint extension lag correlated with the patient's satisfaction score, but the pulp-to-palm distance did not correlate with patient satisfaction. We conclude that both Tendon grafting and Tendon Transfer are reliable reconstruction methods for ruptured finger extensor Tendons in rheumatoid hands.

  • is tibialis anterior Tendon Transfer effective for recurrent clubfoot
    Clinical Orthopaedics and Related Research, 2014
    Co-Authors: Joshua Burns, Kelly Gray, David G Little, Michael Bellemore, Paul Gibbons
    Abstract:

    Background Tibialis anterior Tendon Transfer surgery forms a part of Ponseti management for children with congenital talipes equinovarus who, after initial correction, present with residual dynamic supination. Although retrospective studies support good outcomes, prospective longitudinal studies in this population are lacking.

  • Biomechanical study of tibialis anterior Tendon Transfer.
    Clinical orthopaedics and related research, 1998
    Co-Authors: James H.p. Hui, James C.h. Goh, Eng Hin Lee
    Abstract:

    The tibialis anterior Tendon Transfer has been used in the treatment of recurrent congenital clubfoot and paralytic equinovarus foot deformities in cerebral palsy. This study attempts to determine the optimal site of tibialis anterior Tendon insertion for ankle and foot motion and to compare the split and whole Tendon Transfer. Ten fresh normal anatomic leg specimens were used. The lateral half of the tibialis anterior Tendon was detached from its insertion, passed beneath the extensor retinaculum, and anchored to the appropriate tarsal bone by a barbed staple. Tension was applied, and ankle and foot motions were measured. The experiment was done by anchoring the Tendon to the tarsal bones along the axis of the second metatarsal and serially through to the axis of the fifth' metatarsal. The entire experiment was repeated using the whole tibialis anterior Tendon. For split Tendon Transfer, insertion onto the fourth metatarsal axis was the most effective route; it produced maximal dorsiflexion with minimal supination and pronation. For whole Tendon Transfer, the ideal site of insertion was along the third metatarsal axis. However, the difference between the average maximum dorsiflexion achieved by the split Tendon Transfer and that of total Tendon Transfer is not statistically significant.

  • Flexor digitorum superficialis opposition Tendon Transfer improves hand function in children with Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease: Case series
    Neuromuscular Disorders, 2012
    Co-Authors: Thomas Estilow, Scott H. Kozin, Allan M. Glanzman, Joshua Burns, Richard S. Finkel
    Abstract:

    Abstract Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease limits hand function. Tendon Transfer has not been reported in pediatric CMT. We report two severely affected children following long finger flexor digitorum superficialis opposition Tendon Transfer. Improvement was noted in palmar abduction, (30°/40°), opposition, (thumb to all digits), and acquisition of pincer, palmar, and lateral pinch with measureable force (1 lb). Dexterity testing improved on the 9 Hole Peg Test (1.03 s/77 s, 22 s) and Functional Dexterity Test (13 s/33 s, 88 s). Functional improvements were observed in self feeding, clothing management, and play. These cases support flexor digitorum superficialis opposition Tendon Transfer surgery to improve hand function in children with CMT.
