Abstract
Chronic injury to the flexor tendon system of the hand remains a challenging problem for the hand surgeon to treat. Both single- and two-stage techniques remain important in the reconstruction of the flexor tendon deficient digit. Modern advances include the use of allograft composites that aim to reduce the time and donor-site morbidity compared with conventional autograft techniques. Regardless of technique, restoring a gliding tendon-pulley system with a functional arc of motion is the primary goal of flexor tendon reconstruction.
