  • Title: Biceps-to-triceps transfer technique.
    Author: Endress RD, Hentz VR.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Am; 2011 Apr; 36(4):716-21. PubMed ID: 21463733.
    Abstract:
    Lack of voluntary active elbow extension inhibits many important functions in persons with tetraplegia. Biceps-to-triceps transfer can restore this function in selected patients. This article outlines the basic problem, indications and contraindications, surgical technique, and postoperative rehabilitation protocol for biceps-to-triceps transfer using the medial routing technique with suture anchoring of the biceps muscle tendon unit into the triceps aponeurosis and olecranon.
