Outcome of the Treatment of Flexor Tendon Injuries

This study is collecting long-term outcome data from patients who sustained flexor tendon injuries to their fingers or thumb — specifically injuries in zones 1 through 3 of the hand, which run from the fingertip to the middle of the palm. Flexor tendons are the cables that bend the fingers, and injuries to these structures (often from cuts or lacerations) require surgical repair and careful rehabilitation. However, long-term functional outcomes vary widely, and there is limited data on how patients fare over many years. This is a retrospective and prospective registry study. Participants will answer questionnaires and may undergo functional hand assessments to measure grip strength, finger range of motion, and how well they can perform daily tasks. The data will help improve surgical and rehabilitation protocols for future patients. You may be eligible if you: - Are between 18 and 75 years old - Had a flexor tendon injury of the fingers or thumb (zones 1-3) between 2014 and 2025 - Are willing to provide informed consent You may NOT be eligible if you: - Decline to give consent - Had concomitant complex injuries (fractures, large soft tissue damage, or replantation) - Had a bony avulsion fracture of the flexor tendon (Jersey finger) - Have an underlying rheumatological condition - Underwent primary/secondary tendon reconstruction or tendon transfer rather than primary repair Talk to your doctor to see if this trial is right for you.
