No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Flexor tendon injuries in Zone 2 of the hand remain challenging because of the need to achieve optimal tendon healing while allowing early mobilization and minimizing complications such as rupture and adhesions. Various tendon repair techniques have been described, including four-strand and six-strand core suture methods.

This study aims to compare the functional outcomes and complication rates between four-strand and six-strand flexor tendon repair techniques in patients with Zone 2 flexor tendon injuries.
