New method restores grip function more quickly to patients with tetraplegia. "The operation not only gives the patient a reconstruction of the pinch and grip function, but also the ability to open the hand," says Carina Reinholdt, Senior Consultant in hand surgery and Doctor of Medicine at the Sahlgrenska Academy, University of Gothenburg, Sweden.
