ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT

Despite significant advancements in flexor tendon repair techniques and rehabilitation strategies, achieving complete restoration of digital motion remains a formidable challenge. The most prevalent complications associated with tendon repair are the development of tendon adhesions and joint contractures. Left unaddressed, these complications can further lead to secondary pathomechanical changes, resulting in fixed deformities significantly affecting hand function. This review of zone-specific considerations in flexor tendon rehabilitation provides an in-depth analysis of the dynamics of tendon motion after repair and strategies to minimize common secondary complications.
