Extensor indicis proprius tendon transfer for extensor pollicis longus rupture
The extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon is one of the most frequently ruptured tendons. The EPL is the primary extensor of the interphalangeal (IP) joint of the thumb and is also important in metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint extension. The loss of this tendon leads to an inability to extend the thumb and raise it to the level of the palm, leaving the patient with a useless thumb (1). Clinicall...
متن کاملExtensor indicis proprius transfer for rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon.
We reviewed 21 patients with 22 ruptures of the extensor pollicis longus at a mean of 5.3 years after transfer of the extensor indicis proprius tendon. Of these, 19 with 21 transfers described the result as good, and two as fair. The mean deficit of extension between the operated and unoperated thumbs was 1.4 cm, and the mean flexion deficit 0.6 cm. Pressure gauge measurements showed that the s...
متن کاملWide-awake extensor indicis proprius to extensor pollicis longus tendon transfer.
This article provides video and narration to describe the technical details of how to inject local anesthesia and perform the extensor indicis proprius to extensor pollicis longus tendon transfer in patients with wide-awake local anesthesia and no tourniquet. Lidocaine for anesthesia and epinephrine for hemostasis are the only 2 medications given to the patient. Sedation and the tourniquet are ...
متن کاملRupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon after Colles fracture.
During the period 1973-1986, 116 patients with rupture of the extensor pollicis longus tendon were operated upon. The lesions were categorised into three anatomical levels: proximal, intermediate and distal. Direct suture was performed for acute lesions; later reconstructive procedures were by means of tendon transfers or free tendon grafts.
متن کاملIrreducible distal radial fracture due to extensor pollicis longus tendon interposition: a case report
Various causes have been reported for irreducible fractures of the distal radius. Most of them have been reported in children.We report a case of irreducible distal radial fracture in an 18-year-old Caucasian male patient. The fracture was not reducible by closed methods and extensor pollicis tendon was found to be interposed during surgical intervention. At one year follow-up, the patient had ...
