Barbet made another serious anatomical error when he said that anywhere from 1/2 to 2/3 of the trunk of the median nerve was severed when he drove the nail through Destot's Space.

Barbet's explanation has to be incorrect for two reasons; the median nerve does not pass through Destot's space and even if it did and was injured, there would be no flexion of the thumb.
