title: [Experiences with 2-stage flexor tendon transplantation].
abstract: Flexor tendon grafting in two stages, using silastic rods to prepare a new bed, is well known. In our opinion four indications are important: first -- loss of tendon and gliding surface due to infection or complex injuries; second -- lesions of the digital nerves; third -- defects of the skin and fourth -- replantation of amputated digits. We are convinced that two stage tendon grafting is a helpful concept for achieving reasonable functional results in special cases and complex injuries.
