Flexor tendon repair in zone 2 followed by controlled active mobilisation
Cullen KW. Tolhurst P. Lang D. Page RE. J Hand Surg [Br]. 14(4):392-5, 1989 Nov. Over a two-year-period, 34 adult patients who had suffered zone two flexor tendon injuries to 38 fingers (70 tendons) were managed post-operatively by a regime of early active mobilisation. The results of this technique, assessed by the Strickland criteria after a mean follow-up period of 10.2 months, compared favourably with other more cumbersome methods.
