Our tenolysis rate after zone 2 flexor tendon repairs and modified Duran passive motion protocol over the past 3 years

Abstract

evidence, and ignored level IV evidence. The benefits of the true active motion have been clearly observed and reported in the leading centers of flexor tendon repair around the world with large series of level IV evidence (Giesen et al., 2018; Higgins et al., 2010; Lalonde, 2013; 2017; Khor et al., 2016; Moriya et al., 2017; 2019; Reissner et al., 2018; Tang et al., 2017, Tang, 2018, Zhou et al., 2017). Observations of flexor tendon repair with WALANT and the improved results obtained by the surgeons demonstrated in the large series using true active movement leave me convinced that it is only a matter of time that level III evidence will surface which proves that true active movement is superior to full fist place and hold regimes.
