SINOPSIS

A 17-yr-old male patient was admitted with a transverse sharp transection caused by broken glass at the volar aspect of his left wrist. Clinical examination showed loss of sensation at the distribution of the median nerve to the thumb, index, and middle finger and an inability to flex the middle finger. Under regional anesthesia and a high humerus tourniquet, surgical exploration of the wound with binocular loupe magnification showed a bifid median nerve with a persistent thin median artery running between the two nerve trunks. The bifid median nerve was sharply and transversely transected, slightly proximal to the transverse carpal ligament. The palmaris longus tendon and the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon of the middle finger were also cut. The flexor digitorum tendon was sutured with a two-strand technique augmented with a running epitendinous suture. The two trunks of the bifid median nerve were repaired separately using microsurgical technique and 8-0 nylon epineural sutures. Postoperatively, the hand was immobilized in a palmar short-arm splint that was removed at 40 d. A progressive Tinel sign was evident 30 d postoperatively. At 3 mo, the patient experienced light touch sensation at the tip of the index and middle fingers. At the last follow-up, 2.5 yr after his injury, the patient has complete nerve functional recovery without atrophy of the thenar muscles and with strong thumb opposition.
