Abstract
Evidence base for the management of flexor tendon injuries
Highlights
Dear Editor, We appreciate the comments by the authors in their letter to the editor on our published article [1]
In most cases part of the A2 pulley is preserved and venting up to two-thirds of the A2 pulley is considered safe provided that the other pulleys are intact [2,3]
Effective and safe rehabilitation protocols are of paramount importance to restoring digital motion and function after flexor tendon repair surgery
Summary
Dear Editor, We appreciate the comments by the authors in their letter to the editor on our published article [1]. A Faculty of Life Sciences and Medicine, Centre for Human and Applied Physiological Science (CHAPS), King's College London, Strand, London, WC2R 2LS, UK b Department of Plastic Surgery, St Thomas' Hospital, London, SE1 7EH, UK c Kellogg College, University of Oxford, Oxford, UK The points raised are important and expand on our review.
