We would like to thank Drs. Luchetti et al[1] for their comment related to our recent article published in Journal of Wrist Surgery.[2] Our study has been derived from cadaveric dissections and not the clinical circumstances which they had noted on. We described the double origins of the aberrant abductor digiti minimi (ADM) muscle with vivid photos in detail. We definitely agree with their comment for the preoperative evaluation clinically using ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).[3] This would be helpful for hand surgeons to remind any possible causes preoperatively which might confirm the ulnar nerve compression at the wrist.
