Flexor pulley reconstruction using a transverse carpal ligament: a case report

Abstract

Although various techniques exist for pulley reconstruction, none are useful for all patients. We performed flexor pulley reconstruction using a transverse carpal ligament which has the advantages of a useful gliding surface, sufficient width and thickness, anatomical similarity to the pulley, and adequate durability. Cosmetically, all the surgical scars are on the volar side while functionally, we can avoid invasion to both the flexion and extension sides.
