Every motivated quadriplegic patient with resources for strong wrist extension, and lacking irreversible pathological features, is a candidate for reconstruction of at least a basic strong pinch. This basic pinch is better than that obtained with a prosthesis. We feel that this possibility exists in no less than 75 percent of our quadriplegic patients.
