    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Hand surgery
    • Reconstructive surgery

    Background:

    • Paralytic claw hand is a debilitating condition affecting hand function.
    • Surgical correction is often necessary to restore hand function.
    • The Parkes tenodesis is a known surgical technique for this condition.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the long-term efficacy of a modified Parkes tenodesis procedure.
    • To assess the functional outcomes and durability of this surgical modification.
    • To report on the results in adult patients with paralytic claw fingers.

    Main Methods:

    • A modified Parkes tenodesis operation was performed.
    • Eight adult patients with paralytic claw fingers were included.
    • Long-term follow-up was conducted over two to six years.

    Main Results:

    • Good functional outcomes were observed in six patients.
    • Fair functional outcomes were noted in two patients.
    • Results remained stable and did not deteriorate over the observation period.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified Parkes tenodesis offers a durable solution for paralytic claw fingers.
    • This surgical technique provides sustained functional improvement in adult patients.
    • The procedure demonstrates long-term effectiveness in correcting claw hand deformities.
