The surgical procedure of tendon transfer. a Pronator teres (PT) (blue arrow) was prepared. Extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB) (yellow arrow) was identified. Extensor digitorum communis (EDC) (green arrow) was identified. b Flexor carpi radialis (FCR) (black arrow) and Palmaris longus (PL) (red arrow) were sectioned from their ending points. c Palmaris longus (PL) (red arrow) was sectioned and pulled to the dorsal part of the forearm. Extensor pollicis longus (EPL) (purple arrow) was located. d Palmaris longus (PL) (red arrow) was sutured to extensor pollicis longus (EPL) (purple arrow)
