title: Reconstruction after flexor tendon injury: state of the art.
abstract: The methods used to treat intrasynovial flexor tendon injuries are the result of decades of clinical experience coupled with advances in understanding the biomechanical, physiologic, and cellular milieu of the repair. Successful treatment requires optimizing the factors that can be controlled and ameliorating those that cannot be controlled.
