Immediate Camitz opponensplasty in acute thenar muscle injury.
Annals of Plastic Surgery 2000 March
Thenar function impairment or destruction is not uncommon in hand crush injury or thumb avulsion injury. Although complete evaluation of thenar muscle function is difficult during an emergency setting because of skeletal instability and pain, if left untreated the injured hand may result in deficiency of opposition and may require secondary reconstruction. When the palmaris longus tendon is available from the open wound, a Camitz opponensplasty can be performed in the emergency operation setting even as an augmentation procedure for opposition if there is any suspicion of thenar muscle impairment. Seven patients with such injuries who underwent immediate Camitz opponensplasty were assessed to have an 80% angle of separation, a 90% angle of circumduction, and an 88% Kapandji test of the normal opposite hand. An emergency Camitz procedure provided a reliable, immediate one-stage reconstruction of thenar function.
