Abstract:
Flexor tendon injuries are common and occur mostly due to penetrating trauma. Surgical repair is required for complete tendon lacerations, and many techniques exist. This article reviews the principles of tendon structure, function, healing, and anatomy. Repair techniques are discussed in detail for each flexor tendon zone. Postoperative rehabilitation greatly influences outcomes, and several protocols are described.
