The results following primary and delayed primary repair in zone 2 flexor tendon injuries were evaluated in 85 fingers of 79 patients using immediate controlled mobilization post-operatively. In 31 patients a conventional Kleinert technique was used. In the remaining 48 patients a modified technique was used with rubber band traction to all fingers instead of only to the injured one. Also a shorter dorsal splint was used in order to secure extension of the PIP and DIP joints. The results were improved and the time of treatment was reduced.
