Abstract
Background: Primary or delayed primary repair of flexor tendon injuries, with changes in technique, rehabilitation, and technology, has moved to the forefront of treatment options. Secondary reconstruction, however, long the mainstay of treatment for these injuries, remains an important technique in the care of certain injuries. Secondary reconstruction of tendon injuries in zone II (also known as 2no man{u2019}s land) using a silicone implant was first described by Bassett and Carroll in 1963 and refined by Hunter in 1971. Aim of the Work: is to assess the results and efficacy of two stages flexor tendon reconstruction technique for cases of flexor tendon injuries in zone two & three with extensive tendon bed scarring. Patients and methods: The present study included 15 patients with 16 affected fingers admitted in Cairo University hospital during the period between December 2012 and October 2013. The cases were collected from Kasr Al Ainy Orthopedics outpatient clinic
