AB - <p>Twenty-three opponensplasties for ulnar median paralysis in 20 leprosy patients were performed by two different procedures i.e. extensor indicis proprius and flexor digitorum superficialis transfers using standard techniques. The results were evaluated using various objective and subjective, anatomical and functional parameters. Two tendon transfers appeared to be superior to single tendon two insertion transfers. It was concluded that if situation permits, two tendon transfers should be performed for combined ulnar median paralysis.</p>
