The work you do is amazing! I have the early stages of claw hand. It recently got to the point where I am losing mobility of the ring and pinky finger on my right hand. I am a musician and a wood craftsman and have been very stressed about the possibility of this being permanent. Seeing you perform this procedure really steered my mindset in a much better direction. Thank you so much. Now I just hope I can afford treatment in the US with my high deductible insurance. Not sure where you are treating patients, but if you aren't in the us, I'm very curious how much treatment costs where you are? If you don't mind sharing and again, thank you so much for the encouragement! Be well! -Roger K.
Is it cubital tunnel syndrome (ulnar nerve entrapment)?? If yes, then I also want to get this treatment... Bcoz I am getting medicines and doing exercise from few months but can't see any positive outcome.
I'd like to comment about (this is typical feature of ulnar claw hand) , actually it is not, it is a flexion contracture rather than clawing which include MPJ hyperextension with IP joints flexion, this patient has all the joints flexed. Regards
This case referred to me from consultant orthopaedic surgeon as ulnar nerve entrapment ….can see the EMG&NCS and arm MRI …all revealed ulnar nerve injury because of the entrapment ….i didn’t do anything joints …just the releasing of nerve then he regained the sensation and motor function regarding to ulnar nerve distribution…regards
Hi doctor, I’m med student at university of Baghdad and I’m interested in neuroscience. I already attended some operations with neurosurgeons ..I would like to attend such unique procedures and get familiar more in this field with you …how can I do it plz?

Dr isn't this called the hand of benediction? As I understood when the trauma (nerve lesion) is higher (elbow) it's a hand of benediction and when it's lower (wrist) it is an ulnar claw
From my research, ulnar nerve entrapment can happen anywhere along the ulnar nerve canal and affects ring and pinkie fingers mostly whereas benediction causes immobility of the index and pointer finger, keeping them in a straight position while still having mobility of the ring and pinky fingers. There's a great video on RU-vid explaining the difference in medical terms with images. I will try to find it and link it.
