title: Technique tip: tubularizing flat tendons in foot and ankle surgery.
abstract: We describe a novel technique of tubularizing flat tendons in tendon transfer procedures, including Jones procedure and Chrisman-Snook reconstruction. The technique strengthens the tendon, facilitates passage and fixation through bony tunnels, and helps protect it from fraying.
