No more Frayed Ends – A Technique for Trimming the Uneven Ends of Ruptured Flexor Tendons Prior to Repair

A. M. I. WATTS
C. HERAS-PALOU

From the Pulvertaft Hand Centre, Derbyshire Royal Infirmary, Infirmary Road, Derby, UK

Correspondence: Mr Andrew Watts, c/o The Department of Burns, Plastic and Hand Surgery, Leicester Royal Infirmary, Leicester, UK. Tel.: +44 1332 347141; Fax: +44 1332 254638; E-mail: awatts{at}dalon.demon.co.uk.

We describe a technique for the accurate and conservative debridement of the ends of divided flexor tendons. We have found this technique particularly useful for the secondary repair of tendons after re-rupture.
