title: Opinions and preferences in flexor tendon surgery.
abstract: Responses to 378 questionnaires that were completed by members of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand are tabulated. The questionnaire was distributed in January 1984 in an attempt to determine the opinions and preferences of surgeons performing flexor surgery throughout the country. Those polled were asked to answer philosophical questions regarding their approach to flexor tendon repair, grafting, reconstruction, and lysis.
