Eighteen adult patients with spastic hand deformities underwent release of the flexor-pronator origin and step-cut lengthening of the flexor pollicis longus to improve prehensile hand function. The goal of surgery was to provide active grasp release in order to improve hand function. Using a previously published grading scale, patients were graded before and after operation. At follow-up after an average of 35 months (range 24-64 months), all had improved by at least two functional levels.
18例患有手部痉挛畸形的成年患者接受了屈肌-旋前肌起点松解术和拇长屈肌阶梯式切断延长术，以改善手部抓握功能。手术的目的是实现主动抓握放松，从而改善手部功能。采用先前发表的分级量表对患者进行术前和术后分级。在平均随访35个月（范围24 - 64个月）后，所有患者的功能水平至少提高了两级。
