Surgery for nerve injury after getting a contraceptive implant
A small fascicle of the ulnar nerve was intact (held aside with a white band), while the remainder of the nerve consisted of a neuroma-in-continuity. In the image this has been removed and we have placed a nerve graft (3 segments of 3.5 cm) into the defect. The arrows mark the transition between the ulnar nerve and the nerve grafts.
