Abstract:
In zone 2, complete release of all the peritendinous adhesions is almost impossible because of the complexity of the two tendons' three-dimensional arrangement under the pulleys. Resection of one slip of the flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS) changes this complex arrangement into a two parallel tendons pattern, which makes it much easier, particularly when using the suture technique.
