Swan-Neck Correction by FDS Tenodesis and Dynamic Lateral Band Volar Relocation in the Setting of Cerebral Palsy.

While there are many proposed surgical treatment options for the correction of swan-neck deformities, none are perfect. We describe a partial flexor digitorum superficialis tenodesis that combines both a static volar plate with a dynamic oblique retinacular ligament vector reconstruction. This is performed through a single, short mid-lateral incision and requires no tendon grafts. The protected early active exercises are encouraged postoperatively, and our long-term results have been promising. The technique was designed for children with cerebral palsy, but the indications have since expanded. Level of Evidence: Level V (Therapeutic).
