Core Tip	Median nerve neuropathy can occur as a complication of flexor tendon reconstruction using the Pulvertaft weave technique at wrist due to irritation of tendon suture knots. Thus, physicians should be aware of nerve irritation as a possible complication of tendon reconstruction and prevent it. The preventive method to cover tendon suture knots using surrounding tissue such as deep transverse carpal ligament dissected during the approach is recommended.
