RESUMO

We report a case of a bilateral glass injury to the wrist with transection of flexor tendons and the ulnar nerve and artery in a 60-year-old male patient. Two days after his accident, we repaired all divided structures, and on the right hand, we added the transfer of the opponens motor branch to the deep terminal division of the ulnar nerve aimed at first dorsal interosseous and adductor pollicis muscle reinnervation. After surgery, the patient was followed over 24 months. Postoperative dynamometry of the hand, which included grasping, key-pinch, subterminal-key-pinch, pinch-to-zoom, and first dorsal interosseous muscle strength, indicated recovery only in the nerve transfer side.
