There are several postsurgical protocols for the hand therapy of flexor tendon injury. The modifications in splints and hand therapy protocols, along with advancement in surgical materials and technique for flexor tendon repair, have allowed the therapy of sutured flexor tendon to continue to evolve toward early mobilization. Yoshizu introduced a new six-strand suture technique, called the Yoshizu #1 technique, so that the early active flexion exercises have been performed. Recently, the hand therapy protocols using early active motion, such as the Kleinert method, the Duran method, and active place-and-hold exercise are popular. Many surgeons and therapists are modifying these techniques or using combined techniques to improve outcomes. However, optimal model of hand therapy protocol of flexor tendon injury has not been identified. We have adopted early active flexion exercise for hand therapy protocol of flexor tendon injury since the Yoshizu #1 technique was developed and have improved our protocol little by little to acquire a good outcome of the treatment. In this paper, we describe about the overview of the operative techniques, the postoperative treatment and the evaluation for flexor tendon injury that our group performs actually.
