Use of Infant Feeding Tube for Staged Flexor Tendon Reconstruction
2015
A two-stage flexor tendon reconstruction using a silicone rod in the first stage and a free tendon graft through the pseudo sheath formed around the silicone in the second stage was described by Hunter and Salisbury for a neglected and failed flexor tendon reconstruction. We are describing a technique where we have used an infant feeding tube as a substitute for silicone rods, which substantially reduces the cost of procedure but delivers the same results.
