ABSTRACT

Tenodermodesis is the release of the distal interphalangeal joint to reposition the extended nail phalanx, perform distal interphalangeal arthritis, and perform extensor tendon repair and suture of the distal interphalangeal joint wound; tendon repair is done by shortening by resection of a skin-tendon block, followed by skin-tendon suture. The arthrosis is performed by a wire which will be removed in two months. The intervention is well codified, it is most often performed under locoregional anesthesia, can be performed on an outpatient basis or justify hospitalization for a few days; one or more incisions are necessary, the size of which depends on the difficulties encountered. We present the clinical observation and result of a 31-year-old patient operated by this technique.
