We present a modification of Bunnell’s technique for harvest of the palmaris longus tendon. Using a 0.5 cm distal incision and a proximal stab incision the tendon is harvested with minimal scarring and, in our experience of over 30 cases, no morbidity.

Background: A rare and disastrous complication of harvesting a tendon graft is the misidentification of the median nerve for the palmaris longus. Methods: The authors report a referred case in which the median nerve was harvested as a free tendon graft. Results: Few reports of this complication are found in the literature despite the frequency of palmaris longus tendon grafting and the proximity of the palmaris tendon to the median nerve. Given the obvious medicolegal implications, the true incidence of this complication is difficult to assess. Discussion: Safe harvesting of the palmaris longus mandates a thorough understanding of the relevant anatomy, in particular the proper differentiation between nerve and tendon and recognition of when the palmaris longus tendon is absent. Techniques to facilitate proper identification of the palmaris longus are outlined.
