Abstract

Modern trends based on new concepts concerning tendon repair after division advise the maximal preservation of the tendon sheath. When the approach to the tendon is limited, its suture may be difficult, particularly on its deep aspect. The authors describe a technique that allows an atraumatic suture to be made, without any rotary displacement of the tendon.
