A Review of 100 Flexor Tendon Reconstructions with ProsthesisSydney, Australia
A series of one hundred cases where silicone rods were used to prepare a bed for flexor tendon grafting is examined, the main indication for this technique being circumstances where one stage tendon grafting was likely to have a poor result. The main complications noted were a synovitis around the silastic rods, infection, and loss of the distal attachment of the silastic rod. The overall results were satisfactory.
