THE MITEK-MINI-GII ANCHOR INTRODUCED FOR TENDON REINSERTION IN THE HAND

The Mitek Mini GII anchor is showcased as a relatively new device that provides a rapid, simple method for bony reattachment; here, it is in troduced for the fixation of flexor or extensor tendons at their inser tion. Transosseous tunnels with limited visualization, pull-out suture s, and external devices can now be avoided if desired. Applications fo r soft-tissue fixation should in no way be limited to the small bones of the hand. Expense of the apparatus remains its only major drawback.
