However the use of FCU for strengthening flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) is relatively not widely known. In this report the use of the technique is dicussed to successfully restore the strength of the fingers of a leprosy patient with considerable partial high median palsy to this patient's urgent need and at his request. This surgical procedure and results of a single case are shown as a preliminary report.</p>  a0254-9395
