Abstract
A reliable method of atraumatic retrieval of the retracted proximal end of a flexor tendon of finger or thumb is described. The technique is to pass a catheter through the sheath from proximal to distal alongside the tendons, without removing them from the sheath. The catheter and tendon are stitched side-to-side. The tendon can be advanced by traction on the catheter.Mesh:
