چکیده

The "grasping technique" described by Isidor Kessler and Fuad Nissim in 1969 is a popular method of flexor tendon repair. Different authors have modified this technique to the point where the so-called "modified Kessler technique" bears little resemblance to the original description.

We also discuss the problems associated with eponymous descriptions of tendon repair techniques and propose an alternative descriptive system.
