Abstract

Objective: Evaluating the surgery results to treat flexor tendon lately in zone 2 by two stage tendon graft. Subjects and Methods: A prospective observasional study was conducted on 38 patients (48 fingers) with two stage flexor tendon reconstruction according to Hunter’s technique from 5/2017 to 10/2023 at Department of Upper Limb and Sport Medicine of Viet Duc University Hospital. Results: Follow up from 6-16 months based on the Strickland scale, we achieved the following results: Very good: 8 fingers (16.7%); Good: 25 (52%); Average: 15 (31.3%). Grafted tendon size: length: 15.93±1.28cm and withd: 3.35±0.39mm. Conclusion: Surgical treatment of zone II flexor tendon injuries using two stage tendon grafting combined closely with rehabilitation training procedures brings good results.
