Journal Title: International Journal of Orthopaedics Traumatology & Surgical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Cerebral palsy a primary C.N.S dysfunction leading to significant functional impairment like increased muscle spasticity resulting in muscle imbalance across joints, impaired function and over time can lead to joint contractures. The wrist is mostly affected joint. Five patients of cerebral palsy with wrist flexion deformity were selected. Aged 10 to 30 years; Transfer of flexor carpi ulnaris was done to the extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis brevis. While in one case Palmaris longus was also transferred to extensor pollicis longus. Good post operative wrist extension ranging from 20 degree to 40 degree of extension and full thumb extension. In present study we found that such small surgical intervention we can improve quality of life of patients suffering from cerebral palsy.
