Immediate Tendon Transfer with Nerve Repair in Low Combined Ulnar and Median Nerve Injury.

Background: Combined median-ulnar nerve injury at the level of distal forearm (below the musculotendinous junction) causes a detrimental effect on hand functions, which have a great impact on patients' hands as well as a financial burden. Many previous authors advocated early or immediate tendon transfer in solitary median or ulnar nerve injuries.

Methods: This study included 20 patients with combined distal ulnar-median nerve injury, who were divided into 2 groups.
