Abstract

Introduction: The flexor tendons are part of a very important anatomical-physiological aspect of the hand. A significant number of patients with flexor tendon injury will not benefit from reconstruction by one stage tendon grafting technique and would rather restore their function by staged reconstruction using silicon rod (tendon spacer), followed by a replacement graft. Delayed or neglected flexor tendon injuries, tendon rupture following previous repair, Zone II hand injuries and more, are all indications of staged flexor tendon reconstruction.
