“…The need for active postoperative movement of the flexor tendon repairs of the fingers in zones II, III, IV and V, to prevent adhesions and obtain proper range of motion, requires suture stitches with high mechanical resistance. 1 2 Among the various qualifications for optimal repair, such as number of passages, thread qualities, suture volume, among others, ease of performance with minimal surgical trauma is fundamental. 2 The six-passage “figure-of-eight” suture is easy to perform, it can be made with various types of surgical threads, has great mechanical resistance for active postoperative movement, and its efficiency has been proven in clinical and biomechanical studies.…”
