Since no practical intra-operative tensiometer is routinely available, adequate tensioning of the graft is best approximated in the clinical setting by elimination of tendon bowstringing without ...

Each flexor tendon that leads to a finger or toe is encased in a structure known as a sheath, which attaches to the finger and toe bones. The bands of tissue — a pulley — sit along the sheaths ...

The synovial sheath of the flexor tendon, which was identified as a slightly hypoechoic area, was clearly detectable at the edge of the tendon's profile on the transverse scans. The presence of a ...

The ECU tendon ... the normal anatomy of the ECU complex. The repair must not be too tight to prevent smooth gliding of the newly stabilised tendon with wrist movement. Anatomic reconstructions are ...
