Modified flexor digitorum superficialis slip flap techn İque as alternative to double-loop tendon graft in a4 pulley reconstruction

Introduction: In digital A4 pulley reconstruction, double loop repair around the middle phalanx with autologous tendon grafts is one of the most preferred methods. However, for this, an autologous tendon graft needs to be taken from a distant location. The aim of this study is to compare the pulley reconstruction performed with the 'Modified Flexor Digitorum Superficialis (FDS) slip flap method', which might be good alternative to classical techniques and eliminates the need for tendon grafts from distant regions, with the classical loop technique.
