A technique of delayed extensor tendon reconstruction and centralization using a palmaris longus tendon graft is presented. The tendon graft is woven through the base of the proximal phalanx and up and over the reconstructed extensor tendon to simulate the natural sagittal bands. As described, the technique allows gliding of the extensor tendon while maintaining its vitally important central location.
