    Area of Science:

    • Hand surgery
    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Reconstructive surgery

    Background:

    • Loss of digital flexion significantly impacts hand function.
    • Restoring flexion is crucial for regaining prehensile function.
    • Various surgical techniques exist for digital reconstruction.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the available surgical options for digital reconstruction.
    • To provide an overview of techniques for restoring lost digital flexion.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of established surgical procedures for digital flexion restoration.
    • Categorization of reconstructive techniques based on complexity and staging.

    Main Results:

    • Surgical options for lost digital flexion include tenolysis.

  • One-stage procedures involve tendon grafting or transfer.
  • Two-stage tendon reconstruction offers an alternative approach.

    • Conclusions:

    • The choice of surgical technique depends on the specific clinical scenario.
    • Tenolysis, one-stage, and two-stage reconstructions are viable options for digital flexion restoration.
