Abstract

Innovations in operative techniques, biomaterials, and rehabilitation protocols have improved outcomes after treatment of flexor tendon injuries. However, despite these advances, treatment of flexor tendon injuries remains challenging. The purpose of this review is to highlight the complications of flexor tendon injuries and review the management of these complications.
