Popis: Multiple reconstruction techniques have been described for correction of boutonniere deformities including direct repair, central slip reconstruction, lateral band reconstruction, transverse retinacular ligament reconstruction, staged reconstruction, and extensor tenotomy. Each technique has been reported to have variable results with complications including capsular contracture, loss of proximal interphalangeal flexion, and residual deformity. We describe a surgical technique for central slip reconstruction using a slip of the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon through a bone tunnel.
