Two of the patients with open fractures also underwent treatment for non-union in a staged manner. Grip strength (power grip and precision grip) was measured monthly using an automated dynamometer. The range of motion of the wrist, and metacarpophalangeal joints of the thumb and fingers was measured monthly using a goniometer.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>All patients were followed up for at least one year. Preoperatively, the overall power grip strength of the injured hands was about 1\/5 of the normal hands. At 12 months, the mean improvement was 202.5% for overall power grip strength and 43% to 57% for precision grip strength parameters. Compared with the normal hands, the mean deficit of the operated hands was 39% for overall power grip strength and 32% to 37% for precision grip strength parameters. At 12 months, mean wrist extension was 50.4\u00b0, with about 10\u00b0 lag in finger and thumb extension. The mean total active motion was 86.7\u00b0 in the operated wrists and 128.1\u00b0 in normal wrists. The decrease in wrist flexion and ulnar deviation was 7.8\u00b0 and 6.8\u00b0, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion.<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Single tendon transfer of the FCU is a viable option to restore hand function and strength following high radial nerve injuries.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/230949901502300318","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,10,4]],"date-time":"2016-10-04T17:14:58Z","timestamp":1475601298000},"page":"345-348","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Single Tendon Transfer of the Flexor Carpi Ulnaris for High Radial Nerve Injury"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"given":"Ajeesh","family":"Sankaran","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Maulana Azad Medical College & Associated Lok Nayak Hospital, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Ankit","family":"Thora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Maulana Azad Medical College & Associated Lok Nayak Hospital, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Sumit","family":"Arora","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Maulana Azad Medical College & Associated Lok Nayak Hospital, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anil","family":"Dhal","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Maulana Azad Medical College & Associated Lok Nayak Hospital, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2015,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-230949901502300318","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jhsb.2006.05.003"},{"key":"bibr2-230949901502300318","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0030-5898(20)31069-5"},{"key":"bibr3-230949901502300318","first-page":"97","volume":"21","author":"Boyes JH","year":"1960","journal-title":"Bull Hosp Joint Dis"},{"key":"bibr4-230949901502300318","first-page":"219","volume":"18","author":"Tsuge K","year":"1969","journal-title":"Hiroshima J Med Sci"},{"key":"bibr5-230949901502300318","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0363-5023(81)80072-X"},{"key":"bibr6-230949901502300318","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/J.JHSB.2006.05.020"},{"key":"bibr7-230949901502300318","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1445-2197.1980.tb04115.x"},{"key":"bibr8-230949901502300318","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0266-7681(05)80010-5"},{"key":"bibr9-230949901502300318","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0363-5023(05)80423-X"},{"key":"bibr10-230949901502300318","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0363-5023(85)80246-X"}],"container-title":["Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/230949901502300318","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/230949901502300318","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,5,1]],"date-time":"2026-05-01T00:21:41Z","timestamp":1777594901000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/230949901502300318"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2015,12]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/230949901502300318"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/230949901502300318","relation":{},"ISSN":["1022-5536","2309-4990"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1022-5536","type":"print"},{"value":"2309-4990","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2015,12]]}}}
