Abstract
1 . The clinical results in forty cases of repair of the median nerve at the wrist have been examined. Almost half were unsatisfactory.
2. The factors that may have predisposed to failure of adequate re-innervation are discussed.
3. The results might be improved by the use of radio-opaque markers for early detection of separation at the suture line, and by the use of frozen sections to determine the adequacy of resection.
