Abstract
We present the case of a young woman who sustained a stab injury to the left palm with a kitchen knife that entered the thenar eminence and exited dorsally between the index and middle metacarpals. We repaired the injured motor branch of the ulnar nerve using a dorsal approach and a proximal osteotomy of the index metacarpal.
