Fig. I. Shows the new substance filling up the gap between the ends 
of the divided ligament. It is a little larger than the original, and extends 
a short distance out on each end, thereby embracing it in the form of a 
clasp. 1, division of ligament. 
Fig. II. Shows the new substance intervening between the receding 
ends of the divided tendon. Passing obliquely across it is a branch from the 
inner metacarpal nerve, which was not divided by the operation on the 
tendon. 2, division of tendon, which the artist has drawn too high up the 
leg. 3 is the proper site for the operation.
