Flexor Tendons

The results of delayed primary suture of flexor tendons cut in the digital theca in twenty five patients, thirty three affected fingers, are given. The patients had their skin closed at another hospital immediately after the injury. One to six days later the skin stitches were removed and tendon suture was performed. Excellent and very good results are obtained in 78.7% of all thirty three fingers operated upon.

The Difference

The aim of the study was to compare side-to-side with step-cut repairs to determine how much of the width it is possible to remove and still keep the repair strong enough to start active mobilization. Porcine flexor tendons were used to create side-to-side, one-third step-cut and half step-cut repairs. There were 15 repairs in each group. The tensile properties of the constructs were measured in a biomechanical testing machine. All repairs failed by the sutures splitting the tendon longitudinally. The maximum load and stiffness were highest in the side-to-side group. Our findings suggest that the half step-cut repair can withstand the forces exerted during active unrestricted movement of the digits in tendons of this size. The advantage of the step-cut repair is reduced bulkiness and less friction, which might compensate for the difference in strength.
