In order to achieve good results following primary flexor tendon repair, detailed attention to post-operative rehabilitation program is essential. From February 1986 to July 1988,fifty-nine digits of thirty-one cases received primary flexor tendon repair. Among them, 25 were men, 6 were women. Ages were from 3 to 54 years old. There were 14 digits injuried at zone 2 (group A) and 45 digits injuried at zone 1, 3, 4 and 5 (gronp B). The results were evaluated by Buck-Gramacko method. It got excellent results in both groups with 71.4% in group A and 82.2% in group B. There were no statistical difference between these two groups. Nearly all of the cases decreased in pinch and grip strength. Returned to job within 3.8 months were noted in 77.4% of the cases. The major complications were paresthesia, adhesion and weakness. With proper use of dynamic splint and early controlled exercise, good results could be achieved even at zone 2.
