Objectives/Interrogation: The purpose of this study was to determine on an anatomical model, if transfer of the posterior interosseous nerve (PIN) to the superficial terminal branch (STB) of the ulnar nerve by a single approach was feasible.

Methods: The experiment was carried out on 5 fresh cadavers. Their ulnar nerves were splitted into

Results and Conclusions: All sutures were without tension and technically possible with PINs all at least 50% of the STB's diameter.

Our results demonstrate feasibility of the PIN to STB transfer through a single anterior approach on anatomical model.
