Abstract
The technic of performing this operation is, to my knowledge, new. It has been used in several cases with satisfactory results, assuring one of normal functioning joints, smoothly gliding tendon and bony union, as well as eliminating the less serious complications of nail-bed damage and sloughing wounds. Through simply a transverse incision it has been possible to obtain sufficient exposure, yet with a minimum of dissection. It has the additional advantage of being applicable to the repair of digital flexor and extensor tendons shorn at their insertions, when no soft tissue remains for suture. By freshening the site of bony attachment and making a trap-door for insertion, the tendon may be sutured and held in place, using this technic.
