          Abstract

          Resumen Introducción y objetivo. La pérdida de función o la ausencia congénita de músculos del miembro superior puede afectar seriamente a la calidad de vida del paciente, limitando actividades cotidianas que requieren flexión o extensión del codo. Describimos nuestra experiencia con la técnica para reconstrucción dinámica de la flexión y extensión del codo mediante transferencia pediculada del músculo latissimus dorsi (LD). Material y método. Empleamos esta técnica en 2 casos y presentamos el protocolo de rehabilitación kinesiológica subsiguiente. Este protocolo se inicia de manera inmediata tras la cirugía con apoyo de férulas de inmovilización para la extremidad superior y progresa gradualmente hacia la movilización autoasistida según tolerancia del paciente. Después, se avanza a la movilización activa sin carga, dirigida a mejorar las actividades de la vida diaria y aumentar la movilidad articular del codo, cuantificada a través de goniometría. Finalmente, progresa hacia la movilización contra resistencia. Resultados. Los pacientes operados que sufrían pérdida traumática del músculo bíceps brachii y del tríceps brachii respectivamente, mostraron rápida recuperación funcional y satisfactoria reinserción laboral y social. Conclusiones. En nuestra experiencia, esta técnica ha sido una opción efectiva y segura en la restauración de la función del codo y la cobertura de extensos defectos cutáneos, evitando la necesidad de recurrir a colgajos libres Nivel de evidencia científica 4d Terapéutico

          Abstract Background and objective. Loss of function or congenital absence of upper limb muscles can significantly impact a patient's quality of life, limiting everyday activities that require elbow flexion or extension. We describe the technique for dynamic reconstruction of elbow flexion and extension using pedicled transfer of the latissimus dorsi (LD) muscle. Methods. We present our experience with the use of this technique in 2 cases and describe the subsequent kinesiological rehabilitation protocol. This protocol is initiated immediately post-surgery, with the support of immobilization splints for the upper limb and gradually progresses to self-assisted mobilization based on patient tolerance. Subsequently, advancement is made to active load-free mobilization, aimed at enhancing daily life activities and increasing elbow joint mobility, quantified using goniometry. Finally, the rehabilitation regimen progresses to resistance-based mobilization. Results. Operated patients suffering traumatic loss of the biceps brachii and triceps brachii muscles respectively, exhibited rapid functional recovery and satisfactory reintegration into work and social life. Conclusions. In our experience, this surgical technique has demonstrated itself to be an effective and safe option in restoring elbow function and providing coverage for extensive cutaneous defects, eliminating the need for free flaps. Level of evidence 4d Terapeutic

          Restoration of elbow function with pedicled latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap transfer.

          Restoration of elbow function is a challenge for orthopaedic surgeons, and many procedures have been described. This study reviewed 17 patients who underwent latissimus dorsi myocutaneous flap transfer for functional reconstruction of elbow flexion or extension. Of the 10 patients who underwent reconstruction for elbow flexion, grade 4 strength of elbow flexion by manual muscle testing was obtained in 8 and grade 3 was obtained in 2. Mean postoperative active elbow flexion was 111 degrees . Of the 7 patients who underwent reconstruction for elbow extension, grade 4 strength of elbow extension was obtained in 3, grade 3 was obtained in 3, and grade 2 was obtained in 1. The 3 patients showing unsatisfactory restoration of flexion or extension strength had associated preoperative weakness of the latissimus dorsi muscle. Preoperative assessment of the latissimus dorsi muscle was most important for obtaining satisfactory results, because preoperative muscle strength influenced the postoperative functional outcome.

            Biceps-to-Triceps Transfer for Elbow Extension in Persons With Tetraplegia

            Restoration of elbow extension via tendon transfer is an integral part of upper extremity surgical reconstruction in persons with tetraplegia. The purpose of this investigation was to assess patient satisfaction and elbow extension strength after biceps-to-triceps transfers.
