Abstract
An improved method for reconstructing injured tendons of the dorsum of the hand is presented. We transferred a two-layered temporal fascial flap to the hand and inserted the rolled, deep temporal fascia between the stump of the extensor tendons. This procedure can improve extensor tendon function with minimal scarring in spite of the limitation of available tissue.
