Abstract
Tension-band arthrodesis was employed in 26 finger joints with various pathological lesions. This is a simple procedure based on the principles of compression osteosynthesis. Stability thus achieved makes immobilization of the hand unnecessary and allows full motion of all adjacent joints.
