ABSTRACT

The authors have developed a technique for fixation of a flap to underlying bone. Their technique involves an anchor system which has been used for tenodesis and ligament repair in orthopedic bone and joint surgery. The anchor technique provides reliable fixation with simplicity of application. A wider use of this technique in reconstructive flap surgery is expected.
