AB - <p>Two patients with a complete ulnar nerve lesion at the elbow and a median nerve lesion at the wrist secondary to leprosy neuropathy retained good function of the first dorsal interosseous and flexor pollicis brevis muscles. One patient also lacked the typical finger clawing associated with ulnar and median paralyses. These findings were attributed to the presence of Martin-Gruber anastomoses that were confirmed by nerve-conduction studies.</p>
