From the Plastic Surgery Department, Frenchay Hospital, North Bristol NHS Trust, Bristol BS16 1LE, UK

Correspondence: Mr D Sammut, Plastic Surgery Dept, Frenchay Hospital, Beckspool Road, Frenchay, Bristol BS16 1LE, UK. Tel.: +44 117 9735544; Fax: +44 117 9094711; E-mail: donald.sammut{at}-virgin.net

A review of the described methods of attachment of flexor tendon grafts to the distal phalanx is presented. The authors advocate the previously described method of attachment consisting of passage of the tendon graft through the pulp with anchorage to the nail. A new modification of this technique is presented, facilitating accurate dissection and placement of the graft with minimal trauma.
