Abstract

Aim: The repair of zone II flexor tendon injuries is an evolving topic in hand surgery. It was hypothesized that variability would exist within the hand surgeon community in treatment of zone II flexor tendon repairs in surgical material used, surgical technique, and postoperative rehabilitation protocol. Methods: A single-answer multiple-choice survey was distributed to the 12 plastic surgery trainees of a tertiary care center. Surgeons were asked questions about surgical technique, suture type, common complications, postoperative management, and the factor that plays the largest role in guiding their surgical preferences. Responses were compared with current medical evidence. Conclusions: This study demonstrates that the majority of respondents are performing zone II flexor tendon repairs in accordance with the best currently available evidence, although there is variability with respect to suture material, surgical technique, and rehabilitation protocols.
