Flexor tendon repair: a comparative study between a knotless barbed suture repair and a traditional four-strand monofilament suture repair.
We compared the tensile strength of a novel knotless barbed suture method with a traditional four-strand Adelaide technique for flexor tendon repairs. Forty fresh porcine flexor tendons were transected and randomly assigned to one of the repair groups before repair. Biomechanical testing demonstrated that the tensile strengths between both tendon groups were very similar. However, less force wa...
متن کاملEvaluation of Early Active Controlled Motion in Flexor Tendon Repair
Objectives: The objective was to determine the results of early active controlled motion in the patients rehabilitated by our new protocol. Methods: 91 fingers in 64 patients with flexor tendon repair in all zones were enrolled in a single group (quasi-experimental) clinical trial. 58 fingers in 43 patients were assessed at least three months postoperatively. Outcomes were defined using the ...
متن کاملFlexor Tendon Repair
During the last 20 years there have been significant innovations in injury repair and aftercare for patients who sustain zone 2 flexor tendon injuries. Improvements in our understanding of the mechanisms of repair and the variables that impact the function of the repair site have resulted in outcome improvements. The purpose of this article is to review advances in flexor tendon surgery and to ...
متن کاملFlexor tendon repair.
Healing canine flexor tendons treated with either total immobilization, delayed protected mobilization, or early protected mobilization was studied by biomechanical, microangiographic, biochemical, and histologic techniques at intervals through 12 weeks. The healing characteristics of the early mobilization tendons showed higher tensile strengths and improved gliding function than the delayed m...
متن کاملA method of flexor tendon suture.
The work of Potenza (1962), and later work from Birdsell, Tustanoff and Lindsay (1966) and Dodd, Sigel and Dunn (1966) using radioisotopes, have shown that only sheath tissues provide active healing elements. The tendon is united by fibroblasts produced from the sheath which invade the injured area. Collagen is laid down initially in an irregular pattern and later is reorientated along the line...
