Abstract
We report a patient with bilateral congenital absence of the juncturae tendini who developed dislocation of the extensor tendons of the long and ring fingers of both hands. Reconstruction of the juncturae tendini restored extensor function. We describe our technique and the results 9 months after surgery.
