Although numerous opponensplasties are described, the options are limi ted when the median and ulnar nerves and the flexor tendons are injure d. We describe a new tendon transfer using the previously injured flex or carpi radialis combined with a fascia lata graft for opponensplasty in a patient who had a wrist injury resulting in division of all his flexor tendons, except flexor carpi ulnaris, and the median and ulnar nerves.
