Purpose: Objective and subjective evaluation of the resultsof flexor digitorum superficialis tendon transfer for the restorationof finger extension in irreparable radial nerve lesions.Methods: Restoration of finger extension, thumb extension,was done in 10 patients (seven with radial nerve and threewith posterior interossius nerve injury; age range: 5-60 years).We used tendon transfer technique using the flexor digitorumsuperficialis (FDS) 3 [to extensor pollicis longus (EPL)]and FDS 4 [to extensor digitorum communis (EDC)] as donorsfor the reconstruction of fingers and thumb extension (allpatients) and pronator teres (PT) for wrist extension.Results: Eight patients (out of 10) yielded 'Excellent togood' results: These patients showed marked improvement tothe motor power scoring M4-M5 on the MRC grading systemwhile 2 patients (out of 10) yielded 'Fair' results: Moderateimprovement to the motor power scoring M3 on the MRCgrading system.Conclusions: The FDS transfer provides thumb extensionindependent from the fingers and wrist extension, becausethe FDS control for each finger is independent from the otherfingers |
