The effect of modified locking methods and suture materials on Zone II flexor tendon repair-An ex vivo study.

The effect of modified locking methods and suture materials on Zone II flexor tendon repair-An ex vivo study.

The failure rate of intrasynovial tendon repair is high due to substantial elongation at the repair site and to the development of adhesions between the tendon's surface and the surrounding digital sheath. To minimize these complications, we sought to reduce the incidence of gapping and to faci...
