My Favorite Flexor Tendon Repair and Why (Symposium 5) - 2012 Annual Meeting (Syllabus)
Learning
Objective:
Upon completion of this session the attendee will be able to discuss optimal
repair techniques for Zone II flexor tendon lacerations.
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.
