摘要
This study aimed to determine whether there is an age below which flexor tenolysis may not be beneficial and whether there is any detriment to waiting for a more appropriate age. In this study, patients in their first decade had minimal improvement in their active flexion after flexor tenolysis. Six patients were tenolysed more than 1 year after their original operation and none appeared to have been compromised by the prolonged interval between injury repair and tenolysis. Significant improvement in active flexion after tenolysis can be confidently expected only in children over 11 years old.
