[Kleinert's primary flexor tendon repair in children (author's transl)].

Abstract

The essential points of the Kleinert technique of primary suture of the flexor tendons are briefly laid out. Even although the success of this method depends especially on the co-operation of the patient, we have been able to obtain very good results, particularly in children. Here, too, we used dynamic splinting in the form of a whole-arm splint, and in the case of very small children, the mother was instructed in the therapy.
