Pathomechanics and Management of Secondary Complications Associated with Tendon Adhesions Following Flexor Tendon Repair in Zone II.
Journal of Hand and Microsurgery 2016 August
Despite the number of rehabilitation strategies and guidelines developed to maximize the gliding amplitude of repaired tendons, secondary complications, such as decreased range of motion and stiffness associated with tendon adhesions, commonly arise. If left untreated, these early complications may lead to secondary pathomechanical changes resulting in fixed deformities and decreased function. Therefore, an appropriate treatment regimen must not only include strategies to maintain the integrity of the repaired tendon, but must also avoid secondary complications due to reduced gliding amplitude. This review presents a biomechanical analysis of the dynamics of tendon gliding following repair in zone II and rehabilitation strategies to minimize secondary complications related with tendon adhesions.
