Dynamic Rather than Static Procedures in Correcting Claw Deformities Due to Ulnar Nerve Palsy - 17/08/22
, Kevin C. Chung, MD, MSRésumé |
The theoretic disadvantage of dynamic tendon transfers is the perception that they are “more complex” than static procedures. The latter may provide a simple solution to claw deformity in a subset of patients; however, they completely disregard the disability associated with loss of the intrinsic musculature. Dynamic procedures reconstruct in part the deficient intrinsic forces and are thus capable of correcting the deformity and some disabilities associated with ulnar nerve palsy. In our practice, we have consistently achieved reasonable correction of claw deformity and improvement in tendon synchrony and grip strength with a modified Stiles-Bunnell, flexor digitorum superficialis tendon transfer.
