Abstract
Rupture or transection of the digital pulley may necessitate repair or reconstruction to treat symptomatic flexor tendon bowstringing. When reconstruction is necessary, intrasynovial tendon grafts may provide superior gliding characteristics when compared with traditional extrasynovial tendon grafts. Lacerations of the membranous portion of the digital sheath and of noncritical annular pulleys usually do not require operative repair.
