title: Harvest of palmaris longus tendon: technique.
abstract: We present a modification of Bunnell's technique for harvest of the palmaris longus tendon. Using a 0.5 cm distal incision and a proximal stab incision the tendon is harvested with minimal scarring and, in our experience of over 30 cases, no morbidity.
