| Abstract: | We report a case of severe scaphotrapezoidal osteoarthritis with closed rupture of multiple flexor tendons. The thumb was treated with a tenodesis with the remaining flexor and the deep flexor of the index was reconstructed with a short cable graft, harvested from the superficial flexor. |
