The wrist is mostly affected joint. Five patients of cerebral palsy with wrist flexion deformity were selected. Aged 10 to 30 years; Transfer of flexor carpi ulnaris was done to the extensor carpi radialis longus and extensor carpi radialis brevis. While in one case Palmaris longus was also transferred to extensor pollicis longus. Good post operative wrist extension ranging from 20 degree to 40 degree of extension and full thumb extension.
