Flexor tendon repair. Concepts.
1. Core suture
Strength of repair proportional to
Number of strands crossing the gap (not suture type)
Suture size (usually non absorbable braided suture 3/0 or 4/0)
2. Repair strength increases more rapidly with early motion stress
3. Dorsal sutures are stronger but may interfere with blood supply
4. Repairs usually rupture at knots
5. Locking loops decrease pull out and increase strength
7. Peripheral Circumferential Suture
– increases repair strength by 10–50%
– reduces gapping and bulk of repair
– closure of epitenon with 6/0 suture
Early ROM for tendon repairs
At 3 wks load to failure is 3 x strength compared with immobilised tendon.


Early ROM decreases adhesions.

Lucks three stages

1st - proliferative, incr cellularity, large number myofibroblasts.


2nd - involutional, dense myofibroblast network align to long axis of collagen bundles.


3rd residual, myofibroblasts disappear, fibrocytes and dense collagen remain.
