An Audit of Flexor Tendon Injuries in Zone II and its Influence on Management

This paper reports the results of a one year audit of flexor tendon injuries in zone II managed in a controlled mobilisation programme. It discusses the rationale for the use of this programme and compares results with those of other units. On the basis of these results, the authors suggest that rehabilitation should be tailored to individual needs and that trends in management should be carefully evaluated before implementation.
