Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Primary repair of flexor tendons in zone II of the hand and early post-operative rehabilitation is no longer challenged. However, early rehabilitation methods vary from one unit to another. Although currents techniques such as of Kleinert's and Duran's have brought considerable improvements in functional outcomes, they do not allow early active motion of repaired flexor tendons. METHODS: A promising method of active controlled mobilization has been proposed by the Bordeaux Hand Unit and adopted by our rehabilitation unity since 1995. The aims of this method are: to avoid of proprioceptive inhibition linked to passive methods and prevention of adhesions. This method has been assessed by a prospective study of 22 consecutive patients with average follow-up of 11.8 months. RESULTS: Our rating was based on the Strickland scoring technique. 81% of good and excellent results were observed. Our score rates confirm the results published by others authors who have applied the same active protocols. The results observed in our series tend to confirm the advantages of early controlled active mobilization techniques and lead us to pursue their application in the future.
