Abstract
Eleven patients with flexor profundus avulsions or severances recognized more than 6 weeks following injury were treated with delayed two-stage tendon grafting. Twelve profundus grafts were performed. All were young, well-motivated men. Total active motion improved from 166 to 244. Grip strength was significantly improved in eight patients. One graft ruptured requiring a secondary repair and two tenolyses were performed.
