Abstract

Absence of single generally accepted method for the assessment of the results of tendon suture of fingers flexors considerably hampers and even occasionally makes impossible the comparison of data presented by several authors. Under such conditions the registration of tendon suturing results is of great importance. For this purpose a simple and reliable procedure is suggested, i.e. configuration of fingers, that allows to assess the results by different techniques as well as to analyze and compare the assessment techniques.
