Abstract:
A retrospective study was carried out to compare the effectiveness of different muscles as motors in modified lasso procedures for correction of finger clawing in leprosy. It was observed that palmaris longus and extensor carpi radialis longus were more suitable than the flexor digitorum superficialis. In some patients, removal of superficialis is associated with complications which could not be predicted before surgery. Extensor carpi radialis longus has advantages over palmaris longus in selected cases.
