We describe a case of wrist and finger extensor hypertonia treated successfully by division of the hypertonic musculotendinous units and functional replacement using conventional tendon transfer techniques for radial nerve palsy. This report emphasizes the important role of regional nerve blocks in assessment and in operative decision making in a case of extensor hypertonia of the upper limb.
