Simultaneous Tendon Transfer and Autogenous Augmentation of the First Web Space of the Hand with Intrinsic Paralysis

Abstract

Simultaneous tendon transfer and dermofat graft augmentation of the first web space of the hand with intrinsic paralysis is described. Fifty per cent over-correction of the web space volume is recommended in anticipation of postoperative graft resorption. Other techniques of fat auto-transplantation are discussed.
