The records of 75 patients admitted with pyogenic flexor tenosynovitis at two academic centers were reviewed. The functional outcomes of patients who received intraoperative irrigation only (n=20) and those that had both intraoperative irrigation and continuous postoperative irrigation (n=55) were compared. There were no statistically significant differences between the outcomes in the two groups.
