Abstract
The abductor digiti minimi muscle has a constant 1 to 1.5 cm neurovascular pedicle that arises from the ulnar artery and nerve within Guyon's canal. We have successfully used the abductor digiti minimi as a pedicle transfer as an adjunct in the treatment of chronic osteomyelitis of the small and ring finger metacarpal shafts.
