Abstract
The technique of dilatation of a flexor sheath to allow one-stage grafting was recently described and named balloon flexor sheathplasty [J. Hand Surg. 27B (2001) 487-488]. The scope of this procedure is not yet known and the application after significant delay has not been described. We report a case where balloon flexor sheathplasty allowed return of useful function after an interval of 19 years.
