    AbstractTenolysis of flexor tendons was performed in 48 fingers of 36 patients. After a mean follow-up to ten months, the total active movement (TAM) was improved from 79 degrees preoperative to 189 degrees postoperative in 84% of the fingers with a minimal improvement of 40 degrees. Following the classification of Buck-Gramcko, 80% (38) of the fingers showed an excellent, good, or fair result. In addition, the influence of nine factors (associated injuries or procedures) on the outcome was investigated. These results showed that there is a decrease in improvement when severity of trauma increases. Arthrolysis of PIP-joint showed no negative influence on the results. We are not able to establish a predictive score for flexor tenolysis from our results.
