A technique is described of increasing the length of a palmaris longus tendon graft by including palmar aponeurosis. The additional 5 cm is often useful in treating high flexor tendon ruptures, especially at the wrist level, without the need for an additional incision.

Four patients are described, all of whom bad tendon injuries in which the median nerve was used as a free tendon graft. Three cases involved the repair of a flexor tendon injury, and one the repair of an extensor tendon. In all cases, reconstruction of the median nerve was performed with a free sural nerve graft. The difficulty was that the palmaris longus tendon was missing in all cases. The importance of preoperative clinical testing for the presence of the palmaris longus tendon is emphasized.

Palmaris Longus Tendon

Background: A rare and disastrous complication of harvesting a tendon graft is the misidentification of the median nerve for the palmaris longus. Methods: The authors report a referred case in which the median nerve was harvested as a free tendon graft. Results: Few reports of this complication are found in the literature despite the frequency of palmaris longus tendon grafting and the proximity of the palmaris tendon to the median nerve. Given the obvious medicolegal implications, the true incidence of this complication is difficult to assess. Discussion: Safe harvesting of the palmaris longus mandates a thorough understanding of the relevant anatomy, in particular the proper differentiation between nerve and tendon and recognition of when the palmaris longus tendon is absent. Techniques to facilitate proper identification of the palmaris longus are outlined.

Surgical Treatments

Background Current surgical treatments for acromioclavicular separations do not re-create the anatomy of the acromioclavicular joint. Hypothesis Anatomical acromioclavicular reconstruction re-creates the strength of the native acromioclavicular joint and is stronger than a modified Weaver-Dunn repair. Study Design Controlled laboratory study. Methods The native acromioclavicular joint in 6 fresh-frozen cadaveric upper extremities was stressed to failure under uniaxial tension in the coronal plane. A modified Weaver-Dunn procedure, anatomical acromioclavicular reconstruction using a palmaris longus graft, and anatomical acromioclavicular reconstruction using a flexor carpi radialis graft were then performed sequentially. Each repair was stressed to failure. Load-displacement curves and mechanism of failure were recorded for each. Results Loads at failure for the native acromioclavicular joint complex, modified Weaver-Dunn procedure, anatomical acromioclavicular reconstruction using a palmaris longus tendon graft, and anatomical acromioclavicular reconstruction using a flexor carpi radialis tendon graft were 815 N, 483 N, 326 N, and 774 N, respectively. The strength of the native acromioclavicular joint complex was significantly different from the modified Weaver-Dunn repair (P <. 001) and the anatomical acromioclavicular reconstruction using a palmaris longus tendon graft (P <. 001) but not from the anatomical acromioclavicular reconstruction using a flexor carpi radialis tendon graft (P =. 607). Conclusion The strength of the described anatomical acromioclavicular reconstruction is limited by the tendon graft used. Anatomical acromioclavicular reconstruction with a flexor carpi radialis tendon graft re-creates the tensile strength of the native acromioclavicular joint complex and is superior to a modified Weaver-Dunn repair.

Little Finger

A 39-year-old man injured his left little finger and was diagnosed with chronic tendon mallet with -50° of extension and 80° of flexion at the DIP joint. We performed an anatomical reconstruction of the terminal tendon and both lateral bands with divided palmaris longus tendon grafting. Postoperative range of motion at the DIP joint improved to -5° of extension with no flexion loss. We demonstrated a novel surgical technique for chronic tendon mallet injury that might represent a useful choice for the treatment of chronic mallet finger injury.
