    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Hand Surgery
    • Reconstructive Surgery

    Context:

    • Staged flexor tendon repair with silastic rod implants is a long-standing technique for severe hand injuries.
    • The procedure aims to restore grip function by facilitating tendon healing and sheath formation.

    Purpose:

    • To review the patho-physiological principles of pseudo-tendon sheath development in flexor tendon reconstruction.
    • To present surgical techniques and outcomes of two-stage flexor tendon repair using silastic rods.

    Summary:

    • This review details the pathophysiology of pseudo-tendon sheath formation and graft incorporation in staged flexor tendon repair.
    • Outcomes from 272 silastic rod implants in 184 patients showed 62% good, 23% satisfactory, and 15% poor results.
