Abstract
Two techniques are presented for atraumatic handling of tendon ends du ring repair of flexor and extensor tendons. If the tendon is cleanly t ransected the suture is carried out by holding the tendon in nerve hol ding forceps. If debridement is needed a slice is partly cut and used to handle the tendon; the slice is then cut off and discarded.
