The Core

A biomechanical study in vitro has evaluated a new modification of the core and peripheral suture technique for flexor tendon repair. Groups of repairs were conducted in cadaver tendons, using a core suture alone, a core suture with a simple running surface suture and a new modification involving a ‘Halsted’ horizontal mattress technique for the peripheral stitch. The Halsted modification increased the load at which a visible gap formed by 93%, the load at which a 2 mm gap formed by 77%, and the maximum strength by 89%. This increase was due to the technique; it did not depend on the suture material used. The bulk of the tendon repair was not significantly greater with the Halsted modification.

A Prospective Study

One hundred and thirty patients with 339 divided flexor tendons affecting 208 fingers were studied prospectively between 1988 and 1996, to assess a regime of primary flexor tendon suture and active postoperative motion, combined with a modified Kleinert dynamic traction splint. The tendon suture technique used was a high-strength multistrand technique using a modified Kessler core and a Halsted peripheral stitch. The results were influenced by the zone in which the tendon was divided, by the physiotherapy and to a lesser extent by the grade of surgeon operating. Overall results by Strickland criteria were 92% excellent or good, 7% fair and 1% poor. There were 43 complications in 31 patients including five zone 2 ruptures (5.7%) and one further rupture in zone 5. This method of flexor tendon repair requires good physiotherapy and splint-making capability but gives good results with minimal need for further surgery.
