La chirurgie fonctionnelle du ou des membres supérieurs chez la personne tétraplégique

Functional surgery on upper limbs in the tetraplegic patient

Résumé

La chirurgie fonctionnelle du membre supérieur a plus de 40 ans de pratique et d’expérience derrière elle (Ann Readapt Med Phys 46 (2003) 144–55). Les procédures sont codifiées, les techniques maîtrisées. Les équipes aguerries à la rééducation de patients tétraplégiques opérés savent que les années d’expérience se nourrissent d’un échange constant entre le chirurgien et les équipes de médecine physique et de réadaptation et que la rigueur de la prise en charge postopératoire reste de mise pour obtenir le meilleur résultat fonctionnel. Ce texte vise à introduire un numéro spécial de La lettre de MPR qui sera consacré à ce sujet dans les prochains mois.

Abstract

Upper limb functional surgery has been endorsed by over 40 years of clinical experience and practice (Ann Readapt Med Phys 46 (2003) 144–55). The procedures are standardized and the techniques mastered. The physical medicine and rehabilitation (PM&R) teams that focus on rehabilitation of tetraplegics with upper limb surgery are aware that this clinical experience is built on communication between the surgeon and the PM&R teams and that post-surgical care is critical and key to the best possible functional outcome. This text aims to introduce a special edition of La lettre de MPR (the PM&R letter) dedicated to this subject, which will be published in the coming months.
