[Management of zone 1 flexor digitorum profundus tendon injuries].
Flexor tendons repair in zone 1 is classically considered providing good results with an overall satisfactory finger function. However, the objective functional results after surgical repair of flexor digitorum profundus are sometimes disappointing. The authors describe the different surgical repair techniques available to the operator from so-called "traditional" sutures to newer methods of internal fixation using miniaturized anchor sutures. The management of postoperative procedures, that of failures and old cases are reported.
