Combined Hyperselective Neurectomy and Fractional Lengthening Technique for Triceps Spasticity

Copyright © 2023 Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc. All rights reserved..

Triceps spasticity can occur in patients with upper motor neuron syndrome. It is often undetected when there is predominant elbow flexion spasticity and/or contracture. This condition can become apparent after surgery for elbow flexor spasticity, leading to impaired active elbow. Although triceps muscle-tendon lengthening procedures can be performed, these techniques do not directly address the issue of spasticity which is neurally mediated. This article presents a surgical technique for addressing triceps spasticity with a combined approach of hyperselective neurectomy of the medial head of the triceps and muscle-tendon lengthening of the long and lateral heads.
