摘要：
Methods and instruments for repairing soft tissues of a skeletal joint, such as, for example, of the foot or hand are presented. The method includes the steps of maintaining the metapodial bone intact forming a bone tunnel through the proximal phalanx between volar and dorsal aspects of the proximal phalanx passing a repair suture through the soft tissue to be repaired passing the repair suture through the bone tunnel and securing the suture. The method may be used for the repair of soft tissue, such as a volar ligament and/or a collateral ligament.
