Transposition of the tendon of pronator teres in cerebral palsy

CL Colton, AO Ransford, and GC Lloyd-Roberts

We have considered the indications for and results of transplanting pronator teres to extensor carpi radialis brevis in cerebral palsy. The operation has some virtue but a very limited application. We achieved satisfactory functional results in six of nine patients and some improvement in one. Two operations failed because of poor selection. In all patients the appearance of the limb was improved.
