Tendon reconstruction with adjacent finger hand tendon

Whether it is a primary or a delayed flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) repair, no general consent has been found, and no perfect treatment has been imposed. The authors utilize 2 new techniques for FDP reconstruction that allow immediate postoperative mobilization and excellent functional outcome. Harvesting of the donor hemi tendon, both FDP and flexor digitorum superficialis, is the closest match in terms of muscle agonism and excursion, and does not result in an imbalance of forces across the donor joint with the potential complications that this may create.
