Abstract:
Medial nerve and Ulnar nerve palsy are still very common in spite of MDT. While most surgeons are concerned with the function of the hand, few have paid attention to the aesthetics of it. However 'white-collar' patients are concerned about the appearance of their hands -besides the function, therefore they would like us to do something for the muscular wasting which is so common. We propose here a new technique, used for the last 10 years, and demonstrate its results.
