Abstract
A prospective double-blind, randomized, controlled clinical trial was conducted to assess the use of ADCON-T/N after flexor tendon repair in Zone II. Forty-five patients with 82 flexor tendon repairs in 50 digits completed the study. ADCON-T/N was injected into the tendon sheath after tenorrhaphy in the experimental group while the control group was not treated with ADCON-T/N. ADCON-T/N had no statistically significant effect on total active motion at 3, 6 and 12 months but the time taken to achieve the final range of motion was significantly shorter in treated patients. ADCON-treated patients had a higher rupture rate but this was not significant.
