Abstract
Infantile flexor tendon lacerations are rare, with few cases reported. Surgical intervention in this age group is favorable, but there are several factors that add to the complexity of these injuries, such as small hand anatomy, frequent delays in diagnosis, and difficulties with postoperative rehabilitation. This article describes a 2-strand flexor tendon repair technique in a 10-month-old female infant.
