Triceps Innervation Pattern: Implications for Triceps Nerve to Deltoid Nerve Transfer
There are multiple nerve branches supplying the triceps. Traditionally, the nerve to the long head of triceps is utilized for nerve transfer to neurotize the deltoid muscle in patients with brachial plexus injuries. However, no anatomical studies were done to investigate which triceps nerve would be preferred for nerve transfer. This anatomical study was carried out to describe the innervation ...
متن کاملUlnar Nerve Contribution in the Innervation of the Triceps Brachii Muscle Ulnar Nerve to the Triceps Brachii
The ulnar nerve is considered the thickest terminal branch of the medial cord in the brachial plexus and most authors does not mention the possibility of this nerve emitting branches to the arm. However, some studies reported that the ulnar nerve could supply the medial head of triceps brachii muscle. The main objective in this study was identifying the presence of ulnar nerve branches in trice...
متن کاملTriceps nerve to deltoid nerve transfer after an unsatisfactory intra-plexus neurotization of the posterior division of the upper trunk
INTRODUCTION Our literature review did not reveal any study on the results of triceps to deltoid nerve transfer done as a secondary procedure after an unsatisfactory primary intraplexus neurotization of the posterior division of the upper trunk. PRESENTATION OF CASES We report on three adults with C5-C6 brachial plexus injury who had an unsatisfactory deltoid function following primary intrap...
متن کاملRehabilitation After Posterior Deltoid to Triceps Transfer in Tetraplegia.
OBJECTIVE To describe and evaluate the rehabilitation concept after posterior deltoid to triceps transfer in patients with tetraplegia. DESIGN Retrospective observational study. SETTING Rehabilitation units. PARTICIPANTS Patients with tetraplegia who had posterior deltoid to triceps tendon transfer and had muscle strength measurements 1 year postsurgery from 2009 to 2013 (N=44). INTERVE...
متن کاملProtection of the deltoid to triceps tendon transfer repair sites.
The posterior deltoid muscle was used to replace lost elbow extension in 11 patients with C5 or C6 level tetraplegia. During surgery stainless steel sutures were inserted into the donor muscle, graft, and tendon insertion sites. Over the succeeding time periods (1 month to 2 years) the distances between the various markers were measured. Significant tendon elongation of 23.1 +/- 4.8 mm (mean +/...
