Based on our results, we consider the Mantero technique to be a good alternative to other forms of flexor tendon reconstruction in zone 1 and distal zone 2. Advantages include the possibility of immediate postoperative mobilisation and placing a secure tendon suture, even if the distal tendon stump is very short.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
