PURPOSE: Most cases of @entity5300 ( @entity5300 ) involve @entity2244 ( @entity5300 ). In those cases, re-establishing the @entity14228 is the primary goal of surgery. The partial transfer of the ulnar nerve to the @entity129 (Oberlin's procedure) is widely used in adults, but incipient in @entity1 . The purpose of this study is to describe the results obtained with such procedure as regards the improvement of the @entity14228 and donor nerve morbidity. METHOD: Thirteen @entity1 aged 9 to 15  months underwent Oberlin's procedure. They were assessed preoperatively and 1  year postoperatively using the active movement scale and also according to the functionality of the affected limb. All of them were evaluated because of the possibility of @entity717 resulting from the donor nerve. We used the non-parametric, statistic Wilcoxon signed rank test (a  =  0,05) method. RESULTS: There was a significant improvement in the active @entity14228 between pre- and postoperative periods. Eleven @entity1 presented functional improvement. All of them maintained negative cookie test 1  year after the surgery. We did not observe any loss related to the donor nerve in terms of wrist flexion. CONCLUSION: The results suggest that Oberlin's procedure can be an effective and safe alternative to treat @entity14228 in @entity5300 .
