Two-stage tendon sheath reconstruction using sublimis tendon and silicone Penrose drain after severe purulent flexor tenosynovitis: a case report

Abstract

Two-stage tendon sheath reconstruction, a method of pulley reconstruction using the sublimis tendon and a pseudosheath formed with a silicone Penrose drain wrapped around the profundus tendon, is a new technique for improving a poor functional prognosis after purulent flexor tenosynovitis.
