Abstract
Raising of the superficial flexor of the ring finger for tendon transfer may leave major sequelae, especially if the blood supply of the deep tendon is damaged. For this reason, the authors stress two important points: raising of the flap proximal to the chiasma to avoid damage to the blood supply of the deep tendon, stepped section for opening of the tendon sheath to prevent any mechanism of adherence. The intersection should be followed by gentle traction by means of a splint.
