## Abstract Postoperative rehabilitation is an important factor in determining functional outcome following intrasynovial flexor tendon repair. We hypothesized that a rehabilitation protocol that produced increased __in vivo__ excursion would lead to increased digital range of motion and tendon str

## Abstract We investigated the effects of two suture techniques using three suture types in a human model in vitro. We obtained 60 flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendons from cadavers and measured the gliding resistance during 1,000 cycles of simulated flexionβextension motion and load to failur
## Abstract This study was designed to compare five different suture methods that are used clinically for tendon repair. The flexor digitorum profundus tendons from the digits of adult mongrel dogs and adult human cadavers were used as models. The tendons in zone II of the hand, defined as the regi
