Muscle of the month

January 2019

The Deltoid muscle is important for positioning of the arm and particularly moving it outward i.e., moving the arm away from the body. In C5-C6 spinal cord injuries, triceps function is frequently lost or weak. Triceps function can then be restored by transferring a portion of the Deltoid into the Triceps with little or no loss of Deltoid function. This is a well-established and secure operation to restore extension of the elbow.
