Abstract:
The treatment of failed deltoid-to-triceps tendon transfers for elbow extension in persons with tetraplegia is a difficult problem. This situation was managed in a 19-year-old man by bilateral biceps-to-triceps tendon transfers. Successful restoration of elbow extension resulted in an increase in the available workspace and enhanced ability to perform activities of daily living.
