Figure 2 Computer-generated drawing of a force equalization pulley system. The 4 top cables are attached to 4 FDP tendons, 4 FDS tendons, or 4 extensor tendons (or combined extensor tendon units). A single weight produces equal forces on the attached tendons. Journal of Hand Surgery Global Online 2019 1, 15-20DOI: ( /j.jhsg ) Copyright © 2018 The Authors Terms and Conditions
