A study of a homogeneous series of 17 complete associated wounds of the median and ulnar nerves at the level of the wrist, was conducted. They were always associated with tendinous and arterial injuries. Repair in emergency has consisted in an epiperineural suture under optic enlargement, tendinous suture and arterial suture. 29.4 per cent of patients had good results. Elements of bad prognosis were contusion, repaired but non functional arteries, and total and simultaneous character of the two nerves section.
