Abstract
Tendon grafting, to restore digital flexion, is the treatment of choice in those cases in which the flexor tendons, divided in Zone 1 or Zone 2 cannot be directly repaired. The indications and techniques for conventional free tendon grafting are presented and discussed. Particular surgical procedures for use in cases with interruption of profundus and superficialis and in cases with an intact flexor digitorum superficialis are described.Entities:
