Treatment Options: Possible Expansion?
For anyone interested in expanding the section, there are a few small details that may be of academic benefit. First, post surgery, the re-attached FDP may have excessive laxness therefore a follow-up tightening may be needed to maximize flexion strength. An alternate option is to fuse the DIP causing the FDS to be the primary mover. While the results are still less than pre-injury strength, it attenuates some of the strength loss due to the lax attachment. Additionally, if the avulsed FDP is left to heal for more than 3 weeks without surgical repair, a cadaver may be used if a palmaris longus tendon isn't available to be used. I hope this is of benefit to a future editor. Coachbricewilliams28 (talk) 16:21, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
