This study presents a simple, atraumatic technique using readily available steel wires to retrieve retracted proximal flexor tendon ends in Zone II injuries, proving consistently successful.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Zone II flexor tendon injuries pose significant surgical challenges.
  • Retrieving retracted tendon ends is critical for successful repair.
  • Existing methods may be complex or traumatic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a novel, simple technique for retrieving retracted proximal flexor tendon ends in Zone II injuries.
  • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of this new method.

Main Methods:

  • A technique utilizing readily available steel wires from a standard hand surgical set.
  • Application of the technique in Zone II flexor tendon injuries.

Main Results:

  • The described technique allows for consistent retrieval of retracted tendon ends.
