Factors influencing flexor tendon adhesions
Hand Clin.
1985 Feb.
Abstract
Formation of adhesions is precipitated by injury to the tendon sheath, suturing of the tendon, and immobilization. Of the factors associated with formation of adhesions, immobilization has been most extensively investigated clinically and experimentally. Early protected passive mobilization to improve flexor tendon healing is currently the most effective means of inhibiting formation of adhesions.
