title: [Flexor tendons repair in zones 3, 4 and 5].
abstract: Surgical repair of zones 1 and 2 flexor tendon injuries is a technically demanding procedure. Surgical repair of zones 3 to 5 lacerated flexor tendons is less demanding. The associated vascular and neural damage will impact the functional outcome. The surgical techniques used to repair flexor tendons in zones 3, 4 and 5 are described, along with the strategy used to treat any associated lesions.
