Abstract
Primary or delayed suture was performed on 174 patients involving 234 digits with flexor tendon injury on the day of injury to a maximum of 486 days after injury during the past eight years from 1974. In the treatment a 4-0 or 5-0 looped nylon suture was used. Follow-up study was made on 121 patients involving 164 digits in whom at least six months had elapsed since the operation. The evaluation showed the results in 53.0% excellent, 15.3% good, 18.9% fair and 12.8% poor. Discussion is made of a number of factors which have effects upon the results of treatment of flexor tendon injury of the hand.
