Injury to the flexor tendons of the fingers of the hand is a frequent and disabling injury, since it produces tendon retraction and functional limitation. A prompt and adequate diagnosis and treatment is required to minimize the risk of tendon retraction, re-rupture, reoperation rate, and the presence of tendon adhesions that limit the range of motion. On occasions, the limitation of the articular balance of the MCP, PIP and DIP joints generates a loss of strength and difficult in completely closing the fingers to the palm of the hand.
