Abstract
A survey was taken of one thousand members of the American Society for Surgery of the Hand to determine the methods by which clinicians currently treat partial lacerations of flexor tendons. Results from 591 respondents show that most surgeons use a modified Kessler technique and begin protected mobilization within the first 48 hours.
