| Popis: | Dystonia is a disorder of motion; accompanied by unintentional muscle spasms leading to repetitive movements and/or aberrant posture that appears during a specific activity. Examples of focal task-specific dystonia (TSD) are and ldquo;writer's cramp and rdquo; and and ldquo;musician's dystonia and rdquo;, and it specifically involves the hand. A 54-year-old male presented with a complaint that the index finger of his right hand moved repetitively that scratched the wrist and palm when he shook hands. He could not find a solution to his problem through non-surgical treatment options. Based on the fact that the problem was limited to the index finger, non-progressive (stable) and refractory to non-surgical treatment, it was attempted to treat the patient with a tendon transfer as a last option. A case of focal TSD of the right index finger treated with tenotomy and tendon transfer is presented here. [Hand Microsurg 2016; 5(2.000): 104-106] |
