Ulnar Superficialis Slip Resection versus Radial Superficialis Slip Resection: A Biomechanical Pilot Study.

Sacrifice of a FDS slip may cause loss of grip strength. In several clinical scenarios one may be faced with the dilemma which FDS slip to sacrifice. Our findings show this is not an arbitrary choice. Hand surgeons should keep our findings in mind when deciding which slip to sacrifice, in effort to preserve function and strength in the injured hand.
