    Restoring flexor tendon function after injury is challenging. Surgeons prioritize primary repair for clean wounds, considering delayed or secondary repair for complex cases, and tendon grafts for late reconstructions.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Hand Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Background:

    • Flexor tendon injuries pose significant challenges to restoring hand function.
    • Primary repair is the preferred method for clean wounds, but alternatives are needed for complex injuries.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline surgical strategies for flexor tendon injuries.
    • To emphasize critical factors for successful tendon repair and grafting.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of surgical techniques for primary, delayed, and secondary flexor tendon repair.
    • Discussion of indications and techniques for tendon grafting.
    • Highlighting meticulous surgical details and postoperative care.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Primary repair is optimal for clean flexor tendon injuries.
    • Delayed or secondary repair is indicated for untidy wounds or when primary repair is not feasible.
    • Tendon grafting is reserved for late cases with significant tissue loss or scarring.

    Conclusions:

    • Successful flexor tendon reconstruction requires careful surgical technique and appropriate timing.
    • Attention to surgical detail, including sheath management and tendon juncture, is crucial for optimal outcomes.
    • Postoperative splinting is essential for both direct repair and tendon grafts.
