OBJECTIVES: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the results of tendon transfers in @entity1 with irreparable @entity4542 . METHODS: The study included 29 @entity1 (5 females, 24 males; mean age 29 years; range 9 to 51 years) who underwent tendon transfers for @entity4542 . Four @entity1 had low- and 25 @entity1 had high-level @entity4542 . The mean duration of @entity1796 (paralysis time) was 19.7 months (range 1 day to 180 months). Clinical evaluations included joint range of motion and muscle strengths. Functional evaluation was made using the Tajima criteria. The mean follow-up was 56.9 months (range 5 to 90 months). RESULTS: Muscle strengths were measured as follows: 3 (n=3), 4 (n=10), and 5 (n=12) for the wrist extensor muscle; 3 (n=7), 4 (n=10), and 5 (n=12) for the finger extensor muscle; and 3 (n=6), 4 (n=13), and 5 (n=10) for the thumb extensor muscle. The mean wrist range of motion was 67.4 degrees , extension was 48.3 degrees (10 degrees to 70 degrees ), and flexion was 21.5 degrees (10 degrees to 55 degrees ). The mean metacarpophalangeal joint extension was 1.7 degrees (0 degrees to 12 degrees ), thumb abduction was 45.6 degrees (34 degrees to 56 degrees ), and thumb interphalangeal joint extension was 18 degrees (0 degrees to 30 degrees ). According to the Tajima criteria, the results were excellent in 15 @entity1 (51.7%), good in nine @entity1 (31%), and moderate in five @entity1 (17.2%). Eight @entity1 (27.6%) had @entity85 and four @entity1 (13.8%) had 1-level weaker finger extensor muscle strength compared to the other fingers. The flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) was used in the transfer of @entity1 who developed @entity85 . CONCLUSION: Treatment of irreparable @entity4542 with tendon transfers yields successful results. Radial @entity85 in @entity1 receiving FCU transfer for finger extension.
