The scientific basis for advances in flexor tendon surgery.

摘要: During the last 40 years, there has been an enormous amount of basic scientific research designed to improve our knowledge structure tendons, biomechanics their action, biologic response injury and repair, mechanical characteristics various tendon suture methods, effect postrepair motion stress on strength healing. These investigative efforts have given rise improved methods repair protocols for early application passive active wrist digital as a means more rapidly increase gliding repaired tendons. The surgical techniques hand surgeons rehabilitation therapists enormously from these results flexor become much reliable. This article attempts review many important reports dealing with tendons that published during three-plus decades indicate how those works management difficult injuries.
