  • Title: The length of flexor tendon grafts.
    Author: Mayou BJ, Harrison SH.
    Journal: Hand; 1978 Feb; 10(1):48-51. PubMed ID: 710981.
    Abstract:
    The distance between the origin of the lumbrical muscle and the insertion of the flexor digitorum profundus tendon was measured at surgery in forty-eight patients. It was found that this distance was predictable and could be estimated without measurement prior to operation. A standard technique of flexor tendon grafting is described where this distance equals the length of the tendon graft.
