AbstractAt last, flexor tendon injuries of the hand and digit are no longer nearly impossible to treat. Many recent studies have reported a more than 75% success with excellent results, in particular in zone 2, in some cases reaching 98% satisfactory outcomes. The challenge inherent in treating and rehabilitating the zone 2 flexor tendon injury remains, however, even for the skilled hand surgeon. We must remain diligent, obeying principles outlined earlier by the first surgeons willing to attempt these repairs, while carefully gleaning the helpful and critical recommendations of the now sophisticated researchers in the subject of flexor tendon repair and rehabilitation.
