Abstract
Abstract: Flexor zone 2 is the area between the A1 pulley at the distal palmar crease to the insertion of the flexor digitorum superficialis tendon at A4 pulley. Termed "no man's land," primary repair at zone 2 had notoriously high rate of complications such as adhesions, contractures, and tendon rupture. Improved understanding of tendon healing, stronger suture materials, novel operative techniques, judicious pulley venting, and early active rehabilitation have helped improve outcomes. This review examines current methodologies and postoperative considerations for zone 2 flexor tendon repair.
期刊介绍：
The only independent journal devoted to general plastic and reconstructive surgery, Annals of Plastic Surgery serves as a forum for current scientific and clinical advances in the field and a sounding board for ideas and perspectives on its future. The journal publishes peer-reviewed original articles, brief communications, case reports, and notes in all areas of interest to the practicing plastic surgeon. There are also historical and current reviews, descriptions of surgical technique, and lively editorials and letters to the editor.
