Abstract
A wire interlock technique useful for harvesting a partial-width tendon graft with an intact insertion for local reconstructive procedures is described. This technique is rapid and reliable for procuring attached tendon grafts with minimal exposure. The technique was used to harvest a flexor carpi radialis tendon graft for basal joint interposition arthroplasty in 12 patients. This method also may be readily applicable for other procedures requiring local ligament reconstruction with a partial-width tendon graft. (J Hand Surg 2000; 25A:176-182.
