Functional Outcomes of Zancolli Lasso Versus Modified Stiles-Bunnell Techniques for Post-Leprosy Ulnar Claw Hand Correction: A Prospective Randomized Comparative Study
Both procedures significantly improved hand function without a clear superiority of one over the other. While ZLP offered faster recovery and grip strength, FDS-4T showed slightly better claw correction. The choice of procedure should be tailored to patient needs.
