Abstract:
This paper presents our experience of a new technique for the reattachment of tendons in the hand. A percutaneous Kirschner wire is fashioned into a hoop to support an intratendinous suture. This mechanism maintains continuous traction upon the avulsed tendon. The technique avoids extensive dissection of the fingertip and the direct application of pressure on the dorsal surface of the digit, which might cause skin breakdown.
