Combined ECRB and APL Tendon Transfer
This surgical procedure involves transferring the Extensor Carpi Radialis Brevis (ECRB) and Abductor Pollicis Longus (APL) tendons to restore pinch function in patients with chronic ulnar nerve injury. Standard postoperative physiotherapy will follow, with assessments at 4, 6, and 12 weeks to monitor pinch strength, thumb mobility, and any complications
