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.
