Late results of surgical treatment of opposition of the thumb in peripheral palsy of n. medianus trunk.
The author presents his long term experience with his own modification of opposition operation of the thumb in peripheral paresis of the trunk of n. medianus. He describes in short the operation procedure, which is very simple both for the surgeon and the physiotherapist. In a group of 110 operated patients he showed that the results of surgery are very good, but the cooperation of the surgeon and of the physiotherapist in the early rehabilitation of the operated hand is most important.
