In 1966, Wilhelm published a technique of denervation of the wrist joint based on his own anatomical studies of 1958. Other authors have published their experience in wrist denervations with similar results, but there are some discrepancies in descriptions of the innervation of the wrist.

We have studied the innervation of the wrist by dissection under magnification on 20 cadaver limbs and by histological examination of five human foetal wrists. Based in our anatomical findings, we have demonstrated that Wilhelm's technique does not achieve total denervation of the wrist.
