Abstract
Orthopaedic surgeons are frequently confronted with the problem of joint contractures and the need for tendon lengthening. We describe a simple reproducible technique for longitudinal splitting of a tendon. We use this method for Z-lengthenings and split tendon transfers and recommend its use to other surgeons.
