  • Title: Longitudinal tendon splitting: a simple technique.
    Author: Lindell EB, Carroll NC.
    Journal: J Pediatr Orthop; 1994; 14(3):385-6. PubMed ID: 8006176.
    Abstract:
    Orthopaedic surgeons are frequently confronted with the problem of joint contractures and the need for tendon lengthening. We describe a simple reproducible technique for longitudinal splitting of a tendon. We use this method for Z-lengthenings and split tendon transfers and recommend its use to other surgeons.
