[Postoperative treatment and rehabilitation following flexor tendon injuries].

CONCLUSION: A stable tendon repair with smooth gliding is the foundation for treatment after flexor tendon injuries. After intraoperative active digital extension-flexion testing of the sutured tendon an early active rehabilitation approach should follow. New splint designs in combination with primary stable tendon suture techniques have the potential to improve the postoperative outcome, presupposing a reliable cooperation of the patient.
