Abstract

Journal of Hand Surgery (European Volume), Ahead of Print.
Modified distraction arthroplasty using the abductor pollicis longus tendon is a useful technique for chronic traumatic trapeziometacarpal joint dislocation. The trapezium is preserved and a locally available tendon maintains reduction and stability.
