Figure 6. Tendon local flap reconstruction.
In early 1980, Shannon and Barton suggested that the outcome of tendon transfer for finger extensor tendon
[103]
ruptures was often poor . Indeed, further studies reported satisfactory results for tendon graft; Bora and
Minami described optimal functional outcomes for tendon graft, particularly using palmaris longus to
reconstruct extensor tendon defects [104,105] . Moore reported that the clinical outcome is minimal when there
are multiple extensor tendon deficiencies, but good results could be achieved with tendon transfers if only
one extensor tendon is injured .
