Flexor carpi ulnaris tendon transfer to the split brachioradialis tendon to restore supination in paralytic forearms.
Inability to actively supinate the forearm makes common activities of daily living and certain vocational activities awkward or impossible to perform. A total of 11 patients with deficient supination of the arm underwent transfer of the tendon of flexor carpi ulnaris to the split tendon of brachioradialis with its bony insertion into the radial styloid left intact. Active supination beyond neut...
متن کاملWhole body vibration increases area and stiffness of the flexor carpi ulnaris tendon in the rat.
Whole body vibration (WBV) has been extensively studied as an anabolic stimulus for bone and muscle. Therapeutic WBV delivers low magnitude, high frequency vibrations to tissues, eliciting biological and structural responses. This study investigated the effect of 0.3G (Peak-to-Peak), 30Hz sinusoidal vibration on intact flexor carpi ulnaris tendons in rats. Experimental rats were subjected to tw...
متن کاملFiber length variability within the flexor carpi ulnaris and flexor carpi radialis muscles: implications for surgical tendon transfer.
PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to understand the detailed architectural properties of the human flexor carpi radialis (FCR) and flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) muscles and their implications for tendon transfer surgery. METHODS Muscle fiber length was measured in 6 separate regions of the FCU and FCR from 10 cadaveric specimens. Sarcomere length was measured by laser diffraction for normali...
متن کاملThe Biomechanics of the Split Pedicled Flexor Carpi Ulnaris For Tendon Transfer
The reconstruction of the upper limb often requires functioning muscle units to be transferred. In severe injuries such as crushed forearms, Volkmann's ischaemia, brachial plexus lesions and tetraplegia, there is often a paucity of available muscle units for reconstruction. One avenue, which is relatively unexplored, is the use of split pedicled muscle transfers. The prerequisite for a split mu...
متن کاملSingle tendon transfer of the flexor carpi ulnaris for high radial nerve injury.
PURPOSE To evaluate the outcome after single tendon transfer of the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) to the digital extensors for high radial nerve palsy. METHODS Records of 10 patients aged 16 to 43 (median, 27) years who underwent single tendon transfer of the FCU to the digital extensors for high radial nerve palsy secondary to closed (n=4) or open (n=4) diaphyseal humeral fractures or deltoid i...
