2.Objective To study the anatomical characteristics of extensor pollicis brevis tendon (EPB) and fibroussheathof flexor carpi radialis (FCR), and search for a new method of reconstruction of the thumb opposition.
3.It was a convenient and efficient procedure for reconstruction of thumb opposition with transfer of EPB tendon by using the fibroussheathof FCR tendon as a pulley.
9.A fibrous, membranous, or fatty sheath that encloses an organ or part, such as the sac surrounding the kidney or the fibrous tissues that surround a joint.
