Abstract
The problems of extensive scarring involving the median and ulnar nerves at the wrist are discussed. Possible methods of separating the dermal cicatrix from the nerves are skin flaps or muscle flaps. A case is presented in which an abductor digiti minimi muscle flap was used. The reasons for this choice are discussed and the technique described.Keywords
