Challenges restoring the freely sliding tendon capable of restoring good function observed by Guy Pulvertaft some 85 years ago remain one of today s ongoing struggles in hand surgery. The unique healing environment and complex biologic repair mechanisms of flexor tendon healing in the hand require careful coordination of surgical techniques and post-repair rehabilitation methods. This webinar will update the participant with advances in our understanding of optimal surgical and rehabilitation management for zone I and zone II flexor tendon injuries including: (1) pertinent anatomical, biological, and biomechanical influences on repair and rehabilitation strategies; (2) zone I injuries; (3) zone II injuries; (4) management of the fibro-osseous digital pulley system; and (5) an update on relevant biologics that may promote tendon healing and reduce peritendinous adhesion formation.
