Evaluation Of Methods

Finger dynamography is a bedside technique for evaluation of the moving abilities and working space of the hand. Various operative procedures used for correcting the claw finger deformity restore the functional abilities to a varying extent. The palmaris longus transfer with insertion into A1–A2 pulley appears to be a better procedure than lateral band insertion, extensor diversion or extensor many-tail procedures. The use of palmaris longus as a motor seems to have advantages over flexor digitorum superficialis transfer where removal of FDS as a motor produces local deficits.

Partial Division

A case is reported where a flap cut of the radial slip of the flexor digitorum superficialis triggered on the proximal border of the A2 pulley within a healed intact tendon sheath. Shaving the flap resolved the problem. This illustrates another post-traumatic mechanical cause of triggering after partial division of flexor tendons.

We examined 150 men and 150 women aged 18–40 years to assess flexor digitorum superficialis function to the little finger and the incidence of palmaris longus absence. All patients had flexor digitorum superficialis function to the little finger assessed by standard and modified tests. The presence or absence of palmaris longus was assessed by clinical inspection. Following modified testing, ten subjects (14 hands) displayed absolute superficialis deficiency to the little finger. Forty-nine subjects had unilateral absence of palmaris longus (16%). This tendon was absent bilaterally in 26 subjects (9%). On combining the clinical findings, one subject had unilateral absence of flexor digitorum superficialis function to the little finger with contralateral absence of palmaris longus, and one subject had bilateral absence of flexor digitorium superficialis function with unilateral absence of palmaris longus. We conclude that there is no link between an absent little finger flexor digitorium superficialis and an absent palmaris longus.

Extensor Carpi Radialis

A retrospective study was carried out to compare the effectiveness of different muscles as motors in modified lasso procedures for correction of finger clawing in leprosy. It was observed that palmaris longus and extensor carpi radialis longus were more suitable than the flexor digitorum superficialis. In some patients, removal of superficialis is associated with complications which could not be predicted before surgery. Extensor carpi radialis longus has advantages over palmaris longus in selected cases.
