Flexor carpi radialis opponensplasty.

Abstract
Although numerous opponensplasties are described, the options are limited when the median and ulnar nerves and the flexor tendons are injured. We describe a new tendon transfer using the previously injured flexor carpi radialis combined with a fascia lata graft for opponensplasty in a patient who had a wrist injury resulting in division of all his flexor tendons, except flexor carpi ulnaris, and the median and ulnar nerves.
