When elbow flexion is good, restoring extension which is a classic priority in tetraplegic patients is also extremely useful to patients with peripheral palsies. When the time since the injury is fairly short, “anatomic” flexor or extensor muscles should be given a nerve supply, either by restoring normal anatomic pathways or by nerve transfers. Transferring ulnar nerve fibres to the biceps muscle is now the preferred treatment in patients with satisfactory ulnar nerve function. This technique provides better outcomes than does repair by implantation of grafts from the plexus roots. After 12 to 18 months, the arm muscles can no longer be re-innervated, particularly when the nerve is repaired far upstream from the muscle. Palliative muscle transfer can be used in this situation in patients with transferable muscles. To restore elbow flexion, triceps-biceps transfer is indicated only in patients with co-contractions. Transfer of the medial epicondyle muscles as described by Steindler is preferred when the “anatomic” flexors are grade 2: this procedure assists elbow flexion. Latissimus dorsi transfer is mainly indicated in patients with muscle defects in the anterior arm compartment. To restore elbow extension in patients with damage to the proximal radial nerve, unipolar latissimus dorsi transfer is an excellent procedure because of the synergistic action of this muscle. In patients with tetraplegia, the posterior deltoid muscle can be transferred and prolonged with a tendon graft. The biceps can be transferred to the triceps, particularly in patients with stiffness of the elbow limiting the range of flexion. In patients with massive paralysis and no local transferable muscles, i.e., with long-standing brachial plexus paralysis, the treatment consists in free muscle transfers with re-innervation by transferred local nerves; the muscle used may be the latissimus dorsi from the other side or a gracilis muscle.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100448,"journal":{"name":"EMC - Rhumatologie-Orthopédie","volume":"1 3","pages":"Pages 243-260"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.emcrho.2004.01.003","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89790980","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such pain, which may radiate to the upper extremities, should be considered in the framework of cervical degenerative disorders. Neck pain often corresponds to referred pain from facet joints or may involve the greater occipital nerve. Neck pain is symptomatic or secondary to cervical degenerative osteoarthritis. In most cases treatment is conservative, associating physiotherapy, massages, traction and, in certain cases, chiropratic manipulation. The therapeutic arsenal includes facet joint injections, acupuncture and mesotherapy. Long-term treatment associating posture training, rehabilitation with cervical and periscapular muscle strengthening is intended to avoid recurrences. Cervicobrachial pain frequently involves compromised spinal nerve or nerve root, in most cases by a soft or calcified herniated disc. This neuralgia generally involves one root and is rarely accompanied by signs of motor deficit. Nerve root and spinal cord compression may lead to cervicobrachial pain, which is typically bilateral. Additional investigations to establish the cause of compression primarily include computed tomography and, above all, magnetic resonance imaging. Electrophysiological studies (electromyogram and somatosensory evoked potentials), can confirm nerve-root injury, establish the topographic distribution of this damage and clarify its severity. Conservative treatment should be proposed initially except in cases of neurological deficit. Such treatment includes immobilization with a cervical collar, axial traction, physiotherapy, medical treatment with analgesics, anti-inflammatory drugs and myorelaxants. Chiropractic cervical manipulation is controversial in case of subligamentous herniated disc but foraminal infiltrations with scan control or epidural infiltrations may be effective when other techniques fail. When all of these methods fail or in case of motor deficit, surgery is typically performed through an anterior approach. Isolated discectomy fosters kyphosis. Filling of the disc space can be performed using autologous bone graft, interbody cages, or even a disc prosthesis in young subjects.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100448,"journal":{"name":"EMC - Rhumatologie-Orthopédie","volume":"1 3","pages":"Pages 196-217"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2004-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.emcrho.2004.03.002","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81199169","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
