The ability to restore function to a digit following flexor tendoninterruption has improved considerably in recent years thanks toadvancement in laboratory and clinical investigations. Although theresults of improved suture techniques and post-repair mobilizationmethods have been encouraging, they are still short of the consistentrecovery of nearly full function that hand surgeons have long strived for.The methods described here are certainly not the final or, the best currentmethods for flexor tendon repair or post-repair rehabilitation. They aresimply personal trials of the most scientifically supportable and clinicallypractical methods. There will continue to be modifications of current methodsor entirely new approaches to this difficult problem as additional scientificstudies support those changes. We already recognize that the ideal tendonsuture technique doesn’t yet exist, and we should strive to create amethod that will ensure equal tension on all suture strands, reduce thenumber of knots, and if possible, eliminate knots from the repair site.
