title: [Does the flexed position of the wrist releave the stress on the suture in the flexor tendon?].
abstract: Authors have examined the optimal position of the wrist from the viewpoint of active motion during the postoperative care, after the suture of the flexor tendons of the hand. Based on clinical and cadaveric experiences a motion of the wrist (inverse) in contrary direction to the motion of the fingers is suggested i. e. flexion of the fingers in wrist extension and vice versa. The tendon injuries distally and proximally from the wrist are discussed separately.
