Through dissection of 12 fresh finger specimens, the anatomy of the distal part of dorsal aponeurosis and its function was closely observed. A direct reparative procedure of the terminal tendon by using tendon flap graft was deseribed for the treatment of chronic mallet finger deformity. Correction of deformity, restoration of active motion of DIP and avoidance of residual pain were observed in three clinical cases.
