Release of flexors and intrinsic muscles for finger spasticity in cerebral palsy.
Clinical Orthopaedics and related Research 2001 March
Between April 1987 and March 1996, 32 deformed hands of 31 patients with cerebral palsy were treated with combined release of the flexor digitorum profundus, flexor digitorum superficialis, and intrinsic muscles. Of these 31 patients, 26 patients (27 hands) were followed up after treatment. Improvements were evaluated by the modified classification of Zancolli et al, the classification of House et al, the object handling score, and the activity of daily living score. Improvements of more than one level on an average were observed in the modified classification of Zancolli et al and the classification of House et al. The ability to grasp, pinch, and release increased with improvement of 2.5 points in the object handling score, and activities of daily living were enhanced with improvement of 2.4 points. The fine motor skills could be facilitated, and dexterity was restored in most patients.
