AbstractClosed rupture of thumb flexor tendon pulleys is extremely rare. Several techniques have already been described for finger pulley reconstruction. Various techniques based on prior anatomic and biomedical studies have been proposed for thumb pulley reconstruction, in which one or two of the three pulleys are replaced. In the present study, we describe an original technique using a single, free palmaris longus (PL) autograft for thumb pulley reconstruction. Copyright © 2013 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
