Lacerated flexor tendons close to bony junction are commonly repaired using a pullout suture. However, these injuries very close to the tendon-bone junction can be repaired with robust direct suture repair of the proximal tendon stump with the short residual tendon stump and any local tissues such as periosteum and joint volar plate. Subacute or chronic traumatic rupture at the midpart of the collateral ligaments can also be repaired by "refreshing" the divided ligament ends and repairing the ligament stumps to local tissues with multiple sutures often combined with tightening the elongated joint capsule.
