Starfish Procedure.

Grier AJ , Loeffler BJ , Gaston RG .


???displayArticle.abstract???
For those patients with partial hand level amputation who would benefit from myoelectric prosthetic digits for enhanced prehensile function, the Starfish Procedure provides muscle transfers, which allow for the generation of intuitively controlled electromyographic signals for individual digital control with minimal myoelectric cross-talk. Thoughtful preoperative planning allows for creation of multiple sources of high-quality myoelectric signal in a single operation, which does not require microsurgery, providing for wide applicability to hand surgeons of all backgrounds.
