Simultaneous laceration of both major nerves with flexor tendons at the wrist is a combination injury familiar to any hand surgeon, which has received scant attention in the English-language literature. The causes and pattern of injury in twenty-six patients treated for this condition over a 10-year period were reviewed. Intensive reassessment of eight of these patients revealed good restoration of hand mobility and strength from the repair of tendons, but the results of nerve repair were less reliable. Tests of hand function indicated that the majority had compensated well for their impairments and seven of the eight had returned to full employment.
