[Injuries of 2 flexor tendons of Verdan's zone II. Multicenter Swiss study]

We report on the results of a swiss multicentric retrospective study collecting 79 complete lesions of both FDP and FDS in zone II and reflecting some variations as well as common habits between the 7 centers when dealing with such settings. After primary repair, striking differences in averaged TAM and TPM motions were observed within the country; some imbalance as nevertheless achieved after tenolysis and other procedures. These proved to be necessary in a relatively high percentage of cases (33%). Thus, it appears that tenorrhaphy still remains a challenging surgical problem.
