Chronic sagittal band injury with tendon dislocation of the
extensor digitorum communis in the hand often requires
operative stabilization. Various surgical techniques have
been reported to repair and reconstruct the sagittal band.
Nonetheless, most of the techniques are technically
demanding and require donor graft. In this case report, we
report a novel surgical technique to centralize and stabilize
the tendon by reattaching the radial sagittal band with anchor
sutures. The advantages of this new technique are simple, no
donor morbidity and stable repair to restore the normal
biomechanics of the tendon. The patient was able to return to
work in three months and no recurrent dislocation was noted
at review two years after surgery.
