Reconstruction of the Digital Tendon-Sheath in "No-Man’s" Land with Autologous Transplanted Vein-Graft

MIHÁLY FORGON
VILMOS BÍRÓ

Pécs, Hungary

A two-stage procedure is described for severely damaged flexor tendons in "no man’s land". In the first stage the damaged tendons and scarred tendon sheath are excised and a segment of the saphenous vein, cannulated by a silicone rubber rod is transplanted into the tendon bed.

In the second stage the silicone-rod is replaced by a free transplanted tendon. The endothelial lining of the vein is a guarantee of a good gliding surface and an obstacle to adhesion formation, and so it ensures good function. A review of the method and a survey of thirty-nine cases are presented.
