Modified suture technique for six-tailed fascia lata graft to slim palmaris longus tendon. A preliminary case report

A modified suture technique is described, which allows to join a very slim tendon palmaris longus (below 3 mm wide) with a many-tailed fascia lata graft (15 mm wide). This technique is useful in case of ulnar palsy in children, where palmaris longus many-tailed graft is desired as lumbrical replacement and where Brand's anastomosis is considered too difficult. One successful case is also shown.
