Clinical Outcomes of Flexor Tenolysis Following Zone 2-3 Flexor Tendon Repair: A Retrospective Review

Flexor tenolysis offers meaningful, though modest, improvements in motion for patients with stiffness after zone 2-3 flexor tendon repair, reinforcing its role as a valuable secondary procedure when recovery plateaus. This study further clarifies which patient and injury characteristics predict better or poorer outcomes, helping surgeons counsel patients more accurately and tailor expectations for recovery.
