Abstract:
Successful outcome after flexor tendon repair requires a delicate balance between tendon healing and limiting scar tissue formation. Recent studies have highlighted the importance of the number of core sutures crossing the repair and the benefits of specific suture configurations in determining the strength of tendon repair. Researchers have attempted to augment the biological environment to improve the speed and strength of tendon repair.
