Tension-band arthrodesis in the finger joints

B T Allende et al. J Hand Surg Am. 1980 May.

Abstract

Tension-band arthrodesis was employed in 26 finger joints with various pathological lesions. This is a simple procedure based on the principles of compression osteosynthesis. Stability thus achieved makes immobilization of the hand unnecessary and allows full motion of all adjacent joints.
