چکیده
MM Al-Qattan, HM Clarke, V Bowen. Conservative management of transverse partial flexor digitorum profundus tendon lacerations in zone 2. Can J Plast Surg 1995;3(3):157-160. The experience with six patients managed conservatively following transverse partial flexor digitorum profundus tendon lacerations in zone 2 is presented. Four patients who were mobilized using elastic traction experienced no triggering; however, two patients who had unrestricted mobilization immediately following injury developed triggering. The mechanism of triggering and tendon flap formation in the clinical cases is discussed.
