摘要
Tendon transfers can be tied too tight or too loose. Both impede good function after surgery. Performing tendon transfers without sedation and pain during the surgery and then watching the patient move the transfer have helped us adjust the tension more accurately. This method can be applied to complex transfers such as radial nerve palsy triple tendon transfers. We describe the technique and results of a triple tendon transfer using wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet in a patient with a high radial nerve palsy. This was a complex case of reconstruction after five operations at the level of the humerus. This left him with a pseudoarthrosis of the humerus and a complete radial nerve palsy. We performed tendon transfers of pronator teres to extensor carpi radialis brevis, flexor carpi ulnaris to extensor digitorum communis, and palmaris longus to extensor pollicis longus tendons. Eighteen months after the triple tendon transfer surgery for the radial nerve palsy, the patient has good extension of the fingers, wrist, and thumb. He can open and close the hand properly. He has excellent function and mobility allowing him to perform most activities in a manner that is practically normal. Wide-awake local anesthesia no tourniquet can be used safely and successfully in complex cases requiring triple radial nerve tendon transfers of pronator teres to extensor carpi radialis brevis, flexor carpi ulnaris to extensor digitorum communis, and palmaris longus to extensor pollicis longus tendons.
