Late Deformities Following the Transfer of the Flexor Carpi Ulnaris to the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis in Children With Cerebral Palsy
Conclusions: The FCU to ECRB tendon transfer remains a viable option to address the wrist flexion deformity seen in patients with CP. Care should be taken when performing this tendon transfer in patients less than 13 years of age because they may develop a postoperative deformity, commonly an extension deformity. We believe that these deformities develop when the patient enters a growth spurt and the transferred muscle-tendon unit does not lengthen at the same rate as the involved upper extremity.Type of study/level of evidence: Therapeutic IV.
