Restoration of sensation will not be discussed but in traumatic lesions nerve repair must precede any tendon transfers. After the initial repair of nerve lesions, or early in a disease process, the hand must be protected by some form of dynamic splinting. This splinting prevents deformity and replaces the paralysed muscle function externally, thus avoiding the development of contractures of joints and shortening of tendons and skin. If a person is seen late after nerve injury contractures may have develeped as a result of the muscle imbalance. Contractures must be overcome and supple joints restored by appropriate traction splints, exercises and physiotherapy. Normal, or nearly normal motion must be restored before constructive procedures are undertaken.Before attempting reconstructive procedures the surgeon must understand the function and have a thorough knowledge of the intricate anatomy of the hand. It is not possible to restore the complicated movements of the hand fully if all the intrinsic muscles have been paralysed by the trauma or disease process. Only the basic functions of opening the hand, grasping, and opposition can usually be restored.
