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.
