Hand Unit, Wrightington Hospital, Lancashire, UK.

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.
