Abstract
We report a 30-year-old woman with complete loss of thumb pulp sensibility secondary to a traumatic median nerve injury at the wrist sustained two years earlier. Two branches of the superficial radial sensory nerve were transferred to the radial and ulnar digital nerves of the thumb. At one-year follow-up, protective sensation was restored with static two-point discrimination of 4 mm, satisfactory Semmes-Weinstein testing, return to activities of daily living, and no donor-site morbidity.
