Understanding Flexor Tendon Injuries
Flexor tendon injuries are categorized by specific anatomical zones, each requiring tailored treatment strategies. Zone one includes injuries like FDP avulsions, where early repair is critical to prevent complications. Zones two and three, often referred to as 'no man's land', pose greater risks for adhesions, leading to less favorable outcomes and necessitating a more careful approach in repair. Knowledge of these zones is essential for orthopedic residents, as repair techniques vary significantly based on the injury's location and severity.
