title: Flexor tenolysis.
abstract: Flexor tenolysis is a challenging procedure with valuable clinical usefulness in the restitution and enhancement of digital function in the appropriate patient. In the absence of complications, improvement in digital flexion can be expected. The requisites for success are a skilled surgeon, a motivated and well informed patient, and a closely monitored hand therapy program.
