Abstract
Forty-three digits with severed flexor tendons in no-man’s land have been repaired using a modified Becker’s technique. The results are analysed according to the type of laceration and associated injuries. Using White’s method, 70% obtained satisfactory, 8% fair, and 22% poor results. There were three ruptures but most poor results were due to stiffness after crushing injuries or when both vascular bundles had been divided.
