  abstract = {<p>32 hands in 31 known cases of leprosy were operated using the Paul-Brand technique for the intrinsic minus deformity. 29 hands revealed good results whereas remaining 3 also had definite improvement in their function and cosmesis. Bunnel's opponens plasty was performed in 7 cases to restore back the power of opponens in the thumb. Meticulous pre and postoperative management proved to be very necessary.</p>},
