Tendon transfers are reconstructive techniques that restore motion or balance to the hand
that has impaired or absent function of the extrinsic or intrinsic muscle-tendon units of the …

Tendon transfers can substitute for the function of a muscle-tendon unit in patients with
irreparable peripheral nerve injuries (Fig. 1). A nerve injury can be considered irreparable …

Background: The wide-awake approach enables surgeons to perform optimal tensioning of
a transferred tendon intraoperatively. The authors hypothesized that the extensor indicis …

OBJECTIVE. The objectives of our study were to report our initial clinical experience with
sonography of the wrist for diagnosing a proximal rupture of the tendon of the extensor …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the functional outcomes of the over-
tensioning technique compared with those of the standard tensioning technique in the …

Background: Transfer of the tendon of the brachioradialis muscle to the tendon of the flexor
pollicis longus restores lateral pinch function after cervical spinal cord injury. However, the …

Different types of secondary reconstruction of extensor pollicis longus tendon injuries have
been reported, with repair using the extensor indicis proprius being the gold standard. This …

Background: Extensor pollicis longus (EPL) tendon ruptures have been treated succesfully
with the transfer of the extensor indicis proprius (EIP) tendon. Situations exist in which, due …

This study evaluated the outcomes of extensor indicis proprius (EIP) transfer based on
varying degrees of thumb extension after EIP transfer and elongation of the EIP. A total of 24 …

A 12-year-old boy experienced rupture of the extensor pollicis longus 1 month after closed
reduction and percutaneous pinning of a markedly volarly displaced fracture of the distal …
