From Christine M Kleinert Institute for Hand and Microsurgery, Louisville, Kentucky, USA

Correspondence: Amit Gupta, MD, c/o Kathleen Lyons RN, Christine M Kleinert Institute for Hand and Microsurgery, Suite 850, Louisville, Kentucky 40202, USA. Tel.: 502-562-0307; fax: 502-561-4288; E-mail: research{at}cmki.org

This report describes a simple technique of retrieving retracted proximal flexor tendon ends in Zone II injuries. This technique utilizes steel wires that are readily available in any hand set in the operating room. We have found that this is a consistently successful and atraumatic technique.

Key Words: flexor tendon • zone II injuries • tendon retrieval
