Palmaris longus tendon as a new autogenous material for frontalis suspension surgery in adults

Abstract: We performed a prospective study using the palmaris longus tendon as the sling material to correct 8 consecutive ptotic eyelids in 7 adults. All operations were done with the patient under local anaesthesia by a single surgeon (D.S.C.L.). With a mean follow-up period of 14 months (range 2-20 months), all the ptotic eyelids were well corrected with no recurrence, intraoperative or post-operative complications. Use of the palmaris longus tendon as an alternative to fascia lata for sling surgery in adults is reco… Show more

“…It has been used in the reconstruction of other tendons (Mountney et al, 1998;Lin et al, 2004;Unglaub et al, 2006;Chu et al, 2008), for frontalis suspension in the treatment of blepharoptosis (Kurihara et al, 1984;Lam et al, 1996;Park and Shin, 2008), as a substitute for ligaments in the stabilization of joints (Jackson and Saint Onge, 1977;Scheker and Ozer, 2004;Furukawa et al, 2007) or of the digital pulleys (Kaufmann and Pacek, 2006), and for the reconstruction of lip (Gürlek et al, 2005;Cinar et al, 2007) and eyelid defects (Ueda et al, 2007). The palmaris longus tendon is also used as a topographical landmark for surgery in the wrist area (Brones and Wilgis, 1978) and the muscle should be considered as a possible cause of ulnar or median nerve compression syndromes (Tiengo et al, 2006) or of forearm pseudo-masses when hypertrophied (Polesuk and Helms, 1998).…”

“…Autogenous PL tendon, a new sling material harvested from the wrist, was used for frontalis sling surgery. 9,10 This autogenous sling material can be added to fascia lata and temporalis fascia as an autogenous source of sling material. The PL tendon is superior to the fascia lata with regard to donor-site complications and availability at all ages.…”

“…22 En el caso 1, la cincha que, atravesando la coronoides y el tendón del mús-culo tracciona de los tejidos blandos, la realizamos con fascia lata autóloga y en el caso 1, con el tendón del palmar mayor inmerso en el colgajo. El tendón del palmar mayor, se ha usado de forma aislada, como injerto libre para suspensiones frontales en ptosis palpebrales, 23,24 dónde a través de varias incisiones perioculares se fijan tiras del tendón al pár-pado superior. Según la bibliografia revisada éste es el primer caso descrito donde se ha utilizado el colgajo radial y el tendón del palmar para la suspensión del labio superior a la coronoides.…”
