Abstract
A new tendon transfer for ulnar paralytic clawhand, in which the palmaris longus with distal extensions of the palmar aponeurosis is passed under the transverse carpal ligament and fixed to the A-1 pulley of the small and ring fingers, is described. Advantages of the procedure are that there is no loss of function and free tendon grafts are not needed.
