Author information: (1)From the Department of Orthopaedics, Duke University Medical Center, Durham, NC (Dr. Klifto), the Department of Orthopaedics, NYU Langone Medical Center/Hospital for Joint Diseases, New York, NY (Dr. Capo, Dr. Sapienza, Dr. Yang, and Dr. Paksima), and the Department of Orthopaedics, RWJBarnabas Health-Jersey City Medical Center, Jersey City, NJ (Dr. Capo). Flexor tendon injuries of the hand are uncommon, and they are among the most challenging orthopaedic injuries to manage. Proper management is essential to ensure optimal outcomes. Consistent, successful management of flexor tendon injuries relies on understanding the anatomy, characteristics and repair of tendons in the different zones, potential complications, rehabilitation protocols, recent advances in treatment, and future directions, including tissue engineering and biologic modification of the repair site.
