  • Title: A review of repaired flexor tendons.
    Author: Gault DT.
    Journal: J Hand Surg Br; 1987 Oct; 12(3):321-5. PubMed ID: 3437197.
    Abstract:
    67 patients with 176 repaired flexor tendons have been reviewed after a mean interval of 26.4 months. 160 tendons to 100 fingers, and 16 flexor pollicis longus tendons were repaired. When evaluated by Buck-Gramcko criteria, the functional results in 92% of the fingers and 69% of the thumbs were graded as excellent or good. Patients with partially divided tendons fared no better than those whose tendons were completely divided. The results of repair in the little finger were less satisfactory than in other fingers.
