title: Sensory re-education after median nerve lesions.
abstract: Technique for re-educating sensory function after median nerve lesions at the wrist is described. Results of re-education of Twenty-three patients are presented. The functional results are good and belie the traditional view of sensory function after nerve suture. Recent advances in sensory neuro-physiology are discussed which may explain the successes of this technique.
