To promote and support tendon healing, one viable strategy is the use or administration of
growth factors at the wound/rupture site. Platelet derived growth factor-BB (PDGF-BB) …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to provide an overview of the available evidence on
rehabilitation programmes after operatively treated patients with peroneal tendon tearsand …

We evaluated the factors influencing outcomes of flexor tendon repair in 112 fingers using a
six-strand suture with the Yoshizu# 1 technique and early postoperative active mobilization …

We report on the outcomes of flexor tendon repair in zone 2 subzones with early active
mobilization in 102 fingers in 88 consecutive patients. There were 28, 53, 15, and six fingers …

Tendon injuries can result in two major drawbacks. Adhesions to the surrounding tissue may
limit the range of motion, while fibrovascular scar formation can lead to poor biomechanical …

The aim of this study was to identify risk factors for reoperations after Zones 1 and 2 flexor
tendon repairs. A multiple logistic regression model was used to identify risk factors from …

(1) Background: Surgical tendon repair often leads to adhesion formation, leading to joint
stiffness and a reduced range of motion. Tubular implants set around sutured tendons might …

The current trend in hand surgery has streamlined the treatment of acute hand trauma to the
modern-day surgery unit. As the volume of hand trauma caseloads continues to increase, it …

As primary repair of divided flexor tendons becomes more common, secondary tendon
surgery becomes largely that of the complications of primary repair, namely ruptured and …

Background: Flexor tendon repair carries a significant risk for complications, which often
leads to revision surgery. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of different …
