Tendon transfers in BPBP
Tendon transfers in birth brachial plexus palsy Many patients with birth brachial plexus palsy (BBPP) have good spontaneous recovery. This is because the injury is a low velocity injury compared to the adult palsy and hence the injury is mostly a stretch injury which has high potential to recover. Even if there is rupture of the roots the distance to bridge and to travel to the destination is c...
متن کاملTendon transfers for irreparable rotator cuff tears.
Tendon transfer is one treatment option for patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. Although surgical indications are not clearly defined, the traditional thought is that the ideal candidate is young and lacks significant glenohumeral arthritis. The proposed benefits of tendon transfers are pain relief and potential increase in strength. The biomechanical rationale for the procedu...
متن کاملTendon transfers for irreparable rotator cuff tears: An update
Shoulder dysfunction in the setting of irreparable rotator cuff tears (RCTs) can be treated successfully with different types of tendon transfer: Latissimus dorsi transfer for irreparable posterosuperior RCTs works best for young, active patients with an intact subscapularis, no pseudoparalysis or previous surgery, and a functioning teres minor.A more anatomical transfer for irreparable postero...
متن کاملHuman wrist motors: biomechanical design and application to tendon transfers.
Moment arm, muscle architecture, and tendon compliance in cadaveric human forearms were determined and used to model the wrist torque-joint angle relation (i.e. wrist torque profile). Instantaneous moment arms were calculated by differentiating tendon excursion with respect to joint rotation. Maximum isometric tension of each wrist muscle-tendon unit was predicted based on muscle physiological ...
متن کاملIrreparable Rotator Cuff Tears: Restoring Joint Kinematics by Tendon Transfers
BACKGROUND Tendon transfers can be a surgical treatment option in managing younger, active patients with massive irreparable rotator cuff tears. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the use of tendon transfers to treat massive irreparable rotator cuff tears and to summarize clinical outcomes. METHODS A selective literature search was performed and personal surgical experie...
