The immediate rehabilitation of patients with repaired flexor tendon lacerations requires a precise therapeutical approach. The large number of reeducation programs from literature poses the problem how to use them. But some protocols are more frequent used by the authors. Aim: This study compare ...
Tendon transfers can improve motor function for patients with diminished hand function due to nerve injury [2], [3] and there are reports of hand surgery in adults with CMT [4], [5], [6], however literature supporting surgical management in pediatric CMT wasn’t identified. We evaluated th...
Adhesions in tendon3,4as well as throughout the body have been causatively associated with Transforming Growth Factor Beta 1 (TGF-β1)5,6. TGF-β1 stimulates myofibroblast activation, leading to increased matrix synthesis and decreased matrix remodeling7. Studies on the healing of flexor digitorum...

Fatigue strength was the sum of the product of the number of cycles and the applied load that was used the cyclic testing protocols for flexor tendon repairs, we used the standard protocol from Chang et al. [10], who proposed a cyclic tensile strength test using 2-N for preload then a ...
The research institution’s Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee approved the research protocol[6]. In the study conducted by Draeger, the third toe of female broiler chickens was locally injected, into the tendon sheath, with 0.3 mL of gentamicin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus. Twenty-four...

the probe was placed at the muscle’s origin on the lateral calcaneal tuberosity, directed towards the tuberosity of the 5th metatarsal. The thickest part of the muscle was located, typically near the calcaneo-cuboid joint, before the appearance of the tendon, and a still image was captured ...
Pediatric flexor tendon injuries can be a challenge for the operating surgeon to manage effectively. The pediatric population presents with several unique considerations. Their small size can make the technical aspects of flexor tendon repair more difficult, while their young age can make compliance wit...
