ABSTRACT
Triceps spasticity can occur in patients with upper motor neuron syndrome. It is often undetected when there is predominant elbow flexion spasticity and/or contracture. This condition can become apparent after surgery for elbow flexor spasticity, leading to impaired active elbow. Although triceps muscle-tendon lengthening procedures can be performed, these techniques do not directly address the issue of spasticity which is neurally mediated. This article presents a surgical technique for addressing triceps spasticity with a combined approach of hyperselective neurectomy of the medial head of the triceps and muscle-tendon lengthening of the long and lateral heads.
