Abstract
Successful flexor tendon repair has narrowed the indications for flexor tendon grafting. Flexor tendon grafting is the preferred method of treatment for patients with neglected digital flexor tendon lacerations and after the failure of flexor tendon repair. Improvements in tendon repair methods and in aftercare methods have improved the outcomes after flexor tendon grafting. Future improvements in tissue engineering may also improve the results of flexor tendon repair.
