title: [The neurovascular pedicled abductor digiti minimi muscle flap for covering the median nerve or its branches].
abstract: The authors report two cases in which a damaged median nerve or its branches were covered with an abductor digiti minimi muscle flap. This muscle has enough volume to protect the critical region of a damaged nerve at the wrist against stress by pressure.
