摘要
We retrospectively reviewed Green procedures and transfer of the flexor carpi ulnaris (FCU) in treatment of spastic forearm pronation, wrist volarflexion, and ulnar deviation deformities. Patients' ages ranged from 3 years 5 months to 16 years 5 months. Surgically, a single volar incision was made and the extensor carpi radialis brevis and/or longus (ECRB, ECRL) were used for insertion. The FCU was tensioned at neutral against gravity and immobilized in 5-degrees of dorsiflexion and 45-degrees of supination. Arc of flexion (47-degrees) did not change but was centered about neutral. Supination improved markedly when operation included a pronator procedure. Quadriplegia athetosis and intellectual impairment did not affect the operative result adversely. Patients aged > 12 years showed less functional improvement. Eighty-eight percent had cosmetic improvement, and 79% improved functionally. None had a decreased functional rating.
