Bilateral opponens replacement in post polio thenar paralysis, using different techniques. A case report
The Hand
|June 1, 1983
Abstract:
A patient is presented with bilateral thenar paralysis, due to poliomyelitis. On the right hand a successful abductor digiti minimi transfer was performed. On the left hand weakness of the hypothenar muscles prevented a good result. Subsequently an opponens replacement, using flexor digitorum superficialis from the ring finger, yielded a good result.
