Personal Approach: Brief description of an anatomical analysis of "grift hand".

Different and known surgical procedures, indications, suggestions, difficulties and complications are mentioned in this presentation.

A new surgical procedure is presented so as to facilitate and minimize time of the surgery with excellent results when treating such a serious deformity as "grift hand"

Methods: This practice is called "serpent technique", it corrects the intrinsical paralysed muscles. Adding to this procedure the Aponeuro-poli-dermodesis on the palm of the hand

Results and Conclusions: Considering this complex pathology, spasticity, tetraplegic and obstetric paralysis different procedures are performed simultaneously such as tendon lengthening, tendon transplant, and capsuloplasty.
