Abstract
A new method to restore flexion of fingers is described whereby the plantaris tendon (or part of the tendo Achillis), with its bony insertion, is transferred to the finger. Strong bony anchorage is achieved in the distal phalanx, while a sound interweaving suture technique proximally in the palm will ensure enough strength to allow immediate mobilisation.
