Flexor Tendon Repair Using a "Six Strand" Method of Repair and Early Active Mobilisation

R. SAVAGE
G. RISITANO

From the Cardiff Royal Infirmary

Correspondence: Mr. R. Savage, 6 Bryngwyn Road, Cyncoed, Cardiff CF2 6PQ

A "six-strand" method of tendon repair has been used to treat 36 fingers with flexor tendon lacerations. Following surgery, active mobilisation in a protective splint was begun immediately. 63% of lacerations were in zone 2 and 27% in zone 1. 69% and 100% respectively achieved an excellent or good result using Buck-Gramcko’s assessment method. 81% of all the fingers were rated excellent or good.
