Vredene (Roussky Bratch., ref. Journ. de Chir., i. No. 2) used Vanghettismethod successfully in a case of amputation of the hand just in front of thecarpus. The superficial flexor tendons of the hand, exposed through an incisionin the lower part of the forearm, were divided transversely at the lower part ofthe wound, and their proximal stumps sutured to the deep flexors (Fig. 1442).The tendon loop can readily be enveloped in skin flaps, the pedicles of whichmay be divided after the lapse of about two weeks. In Vredenes case exercises. Fig. 1440.—Cinemalic apparatus. CINEMATIC AMPUTATIONS I167 were begun after about one month, and the tendon loop was able to exert a pullof 12 pounds.
