Postoperative Results of Looped Nylon Suture Used in Injuries of The Digital Flexor Tendons

Y. IKUTA
K. TSUGE

From the Hiroshima University School of Medicine, Japan

Primary or delayed suture was performed on 174 patients involving 234 digits with flexor tendon injury on the day of injury to a maximum of 486 days after injury during the past eight years from 1974. In the treatment a 4-0 or 5-0 looped nylon suture was used.

Follow-up study was made on 121 patients involving 164 digits in whom at least six months had elapsed since the operation. The evaluation showed the results in 53.0% excellent, 15.3% good, 18.9% fair and 12.8% poor. Discussion is made of a number of factors which have effects upon the results of treatment of flexor tendon injury of the hand.
