A modification of the technique of palmar capsulodesis described by Filler et al. (1976) for the treatment of hyperextensibility in the metacarpophalangeal joint of the thumb was used in the metacarpophalangeal joints of the fingers. Seven of eight patients regained normal range of motion without pain.
