Abstract

Abstract: We present three cases of strong one-staged tendon reconstruction for musculotendinous junction avulsion tendon injuries, and called it a 'pull-in suture'. The clinical outcomes of this method are comparable to those of tendon transfer; it is an effective reconstruction method that should be considered as an initial treatment procedure.
