title: [Joint denervations in hand surgery: a plea].
abstract: Since the original description of wrist denervation, the principle of joint denervation in hand surgery has been extended to other joints like the first carpometacarpal, interphalangeal and metacarpophalangeal joints. At the wrist level as at the digital level, the results are comparable to those obtained with other surgical alternatives. In case of unsatisfactory results, a more traditional intervention remains always possible.
