According to the tendon interposition plastic of Froimson for the substitute arthrose of the saddlepoint of the thumb. We exstirpated the bionecrotic fragment of the scaphoid, splitted the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis muscle, removed a part of the tendon from the belly of the muscle, rolled it in and fixed it in the excavated cavity of the bone.
