Add on the fact that it would be in a far more comfortable position for cutting and it's obvious that Dr Kelly selecting the ulnar would make no sense whatsoever.brian in the tamar valleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13475701925894027724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7713282434144514700.post-34567985248793350742010-11-28T12:01:25.799+00:002010-11-28T12:01:25.799+00:00From talking to surgeons, I had understood that to...From talking to surgeons, I had understood that to reach the ulnar artery one had to cut THROUGH tendons (extremely painful).<br /><br />Hunt says the ulnar artery was completely severed and the ulnar nerve partially severed. <br /><br />Is it possible to achieve these two things without cutting tendons?Rowena Thursbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444270594885298483noreply@blogger.com
