First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a surgical procedure that moves two tendons in the forearm to help people with long-term ulnar nerve damage regain the ability to pinch. 17 adults aged 18-60 with stable joints and no other nerve injuries will be followed for 12 weeks after surgery. The goal is to see if grip strength and hand function improve.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Combined ECRB and APL tendon transfer surgery
What this could lead to
If successful, this surgical technique could improve hand function and daily activities for people with chronic ulnar nerve injury.
What could go wrong
This is a very small study (17 people) with no comparison group, so results may not apply widely. Surgery carries risks like infection or limited improvement.
