A novel technique using a silastic urinary catheter simplifies flexor tendon retrieval in Zones I and II injuries. This method offers a straightforward approach for managing flexor tendon divisions.

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Hand Surgery
  • Traumatology

Background:

  • Flexor tendon injuries in Zones I and II of the hand present unique challenges for surgical repair.
  • Effective retrieval of the divided tendon is a critical step for successful reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe a simple and effective method for flexor tendon retrieval in Zones I and II injuries.
  • To introduce the use of a silastic urinary catheter as a tool for tendon retrieval.

Main Methods:

  • A technique involving the use of a silastic urinary catheter for flexor tendon retrieval after division is detailed.
  • The procedure is specifically applied to injuries occurring in Zones I and II.

Main Results:
