title: [Results of flexor tendon repair using the Tsuge technic. Apropos of a series of 95 fingers].
abstract: The authors review a series of 76 patients with 95 fingers involved, 66.6% of them occurring in zone II. The core stitch was performed according to the Tsuge technique (type II) combined with a peritendinous running suture. Results based on TAM were excellent or good in 60%, fair in 22%, and poor in 18%. Influencing factors were associated lesions, mainly vascular and lesions in zone II. Rupture occurred in 5% and adhesion in 22% of cases. Providing similar results to those of other techniques published in the current literature, the Tsuge techniques is preferred because it is simpler and faster to perform.
