sign
Pollock's sign Correct Ans-due to loss of ulnar innervated FDP in high ulnar lesion,
therefore CANNOT flex DIP of small finger
With high and low ulnar nerve palsies, name 4 transfers utilizing muscles innervated by the
radial nerve. Correct Ans-ECRB to adductor pollicis (thumb adduction)
APL to first dorsal interosseous (index abduction)
EIP to APB (thumb opposition)

1 radian = 10 mm tendon excursion. (e.g. moving the MP joint 57.29 degrees will yield 10 mm
extensor tendon excursion)
Therefore, to get the suggested 5mm excursion, a joint must be moved through .5 radian, or
28.64 degrees of flexion.
Note a joint with smaller moment arm produces less tendon excursion.
Most important goals of thumb reconstruction is restoration of what two things? Correct
