Flexor Tendon Injuries.

Flexor Tendon Injuries. J Am Acad Orthop Surg. 2018 Jan 15;26(2):e26-e35 Authors: Klifto CS, Capo JT, Sapienza A, Yang SS, Paksima N Abstract Flexor tendon injuries of the hand are uncommon, and they are among the most challenging orthopaedic injuries to manage. Proper management is essential to ensure optimal outcomes. Consistent, successful management of flexor tendon injuries relies on understanding the anatomy, characteristics and repair of tendons in the different zones, potential complications, rehabilitation protocols, recent advances in treatment, and future directions, including tissue engineering and biologic modification of the repair site.
