Normal hand function is a balance between the extrinsic-intrinsic and extensor-flexor group of musculature. Although individually the intrinsics are very small muscles, collectively they contribute about 50% of grip strength. Total 19 patents with claw deformity were corrected by 4 different techniques. 11 claws were due to high ulnar nerve palsy and 8 were due to low palsy. Result was excellent in 9 (47.36%), good in 7(36.84%), fair in 2(10.52%) and poor in 1(05.26%) patient. Zancolli’s Lasso was the most common procedure used for correction of claw deformity. 1(05.26%) patient developed swan neck deformity treated by FDS 4 tail procedure of low lesion group and final result was fair, another 1 (05.26%) patient developed contracture of the PIP joint. Though exact biomechanical correction of claw is complicated yet function of the hand can be improved with different techniques of tendon transfer.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bdjps.v3i1.15000 Bangladesh Journal of Plastic Surgery 2012, 3(1): 13-18

Practical Implications

The actions of the interossei and lumbricals are many and their loss causes significant impairment of hand function. Many procedures have been described to restore intrinsic function following ulnar nerve palsy. There are many biomechanical issues involved in tendon transfers, including choice of muscle-tendon unit, route, insertion site, tension and drag. The surgeon, therefore, should have a good understanding of biomechanical principles to ensure optimal results. In this article the principles of biomechanics are reviewed with specific reference to tendon transfers for intrinsic reconstruction in ulnar palsy, along with their practical implications.
