title: Results of tenolysis for flexor tendon adhesion after phalangeal fracture.
abstract: There are only three reports of the surgical outcomes of flexor tendon tenolysis after phalangeal fractures. The fracture type, the time to mobilisation following injury and the time between the injury and tenolysis did not affect the results of tenolysis. The outcome only correlated significantly to the total passive range of motion before tenolysis.
