when your switching back and forth with your fingers, afther sewing then the tying of the sutures, palming the forceps. you can save some time from throwing them a way then going back to achieve them. hold on to the forceps with the little and ring fingers, with the distal interphalangeal joints in extension frees the middle finger to move through a greater range of movement as opposed to the forceps being grasped by the fingers. the muscle belly looks similar to the flexor digitorum profundus muscle, little fingers and ring, so flexion of the distal joints of two fingers to hold the forceps also flexes the middle finger. when you have in place your little finger and your distal joints of the ring when grabing the forceps leaves the flexor digitorum profundus muscle relaxed, this will free up your middle finger for greater movement. When left-handed little finger & ring finger manipulation is needed during a portion of one-handed tying, temporarily shift the palmed forceps to a pinch in the web between the thumb and index finger.
The flexor digitorum profundus sends out tendons towards the distal phalanges of the ring, long and tiny digits, so flexion of the distal interphalangeal joints of two fingers also flexes the third. Your bad habits feel more comfortable than your newly tried, superior ways.
You can change from a holding posture to a "use" posture. This can be acheived by going up & down on the forceps, when they're grabbed for the first time at the proper mark with index and thumb. The proper grab is hard with the palm facing up, as gravity causes the forceps to sit against the palm, making extreme metacarpal-phalangeal joint rotation of the index and thumb finger.
Grasping at the correct part is made easier by turning the palm down, you do this so gravity can move your forceps away from the palm; Your thumb and index can now grasp the correct place without massive flexing of the metacarpal-phalangeal joints.
Careful and cautous transfer for your forceps to the "use" to the "hold" stance and back again, this will then become a smooth process.
