Turnover lengthening of the ECRB tendon does not alter the biomechanical strength of PT to ECRB tendon transfer.

Turnover tendon lengthening does not detrimentally affect PT to ECRB tendon transfer.Greater overlap lengthening distance confers greater stiffness and resistance to rupture. When the periosteal extension of the PT tendon avulses or is poor quality, the ECRB tendon can be lengthened using the turnover tendon lengthening technique to facilitate a robust transfer.
