    Summary

    Direct suture repair of flexor tendons in zones I and II yielded good results. Both primary repair and secondary tenolysis are effective for digital flexor tendon injuries.

    Area of Science:

    • Hand surgery
    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Reconstructive surgery

    Context:

    • Flexor tendon injuries in digital zones I and II are common.
    • Direct suture repair is a primary treatment option.
    • Modified Kessler's grasping suture technique was utilized.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of direct suture repair for flexor tendons in digital zones I and II.
    • To assess the efficacy of tenolysis in cases with secondary changes.

    Summary:

    • 44 fingers (41 patients) underwent flexor tendon repair using a modified Kessler's suture.
    • In cases of complete division, 66-75% good/excellent results were achieved based on preoperative conditions.
    • Secondary tenolysis was performed in half the cases, not earlier than 3 months post-suture.

    Impact:

    • This study highlights the effectiveness of direct suture repair for flexor tendons in specific digital zones.
    • It provides valuable data for surgeons managing digital flexor tendon injuries.
    • The findings support the use of tenolysis for managing secondary complications.
