Preface :
Pr. Harlod E. KLEINERT. Louisville. USA.
????"New procedures and new concepts as introduced by D. Guimberteau, such as a vascularized flexor tendon with its mesotenon to restore flexor tendons, resulted in impressive digital motion, and not only advanced and changed the specialty of hand surgery, but of all surgery."

Pr. Claude VERDAN. Lausanne. Switzerland.
????"Jean-Claude Guimberteau's book introduces three new subjects which must be of great interest to hand surgeons :
????- the acute knowledge of the sliding system of tendons and their vascularization perfectly adapted to this mechanism.
????- a new type of technical procedure, described in 1988, for salvage situation in secondary flexor tendon repairs, using a vascularized sliding unit composed of a flexor tendon and its surrounding sheath islanded on a branch of the ulnar pedicle as a "Chinese flap".
????- the possibility to perform vascularized global digital flexion system homohtransplants in special indications.
????So, Jean-Claude Guimberteau's achievement in of great importance in the progress of hand tendon surgery."
