Abstract

We used Neviaser's procedure, transfer of the abductor pollicis longus tendon, to restore the first dorsal interosseous muscle in two patients who had lost muscle function as a result of injury or resection of a tumour. The patients were satisfied with the increased strength and stability in pinch. There were no complications.
