Faculty: Edward Diao, MD
Learning
Objective:
Upon completion of this session the attendee will be able to discuss optimal
repair techniques for Zone II flexor tendon lacerations.
Duration: 8:30
Description
Most symposia on flexor tendon repair focus on the rationale
for multi-strand repair, post-operative protocols, and/or the scientific basis
of healing. What is overlooked is a clear presentation of what the hand surgeon
actually does in practice. In this symposium, 4 leaders in flexor tendon
surgery will first present, in detail, the exact technique they perform for a
clean Zone II flexor tendon laceration. In the discussion, they will present
bullet points on why that repair technique is chosen. In the end, the audience
will vote electronically on the method that they would adopt.
