Chuck and Chris have a good discussion on FDP tendon avulsions and repair options.  We discuss whether the FDP should always be repaired in the setting of an intact FDS (a great deal of therapy is required and results are rarely excellent) and we discuss how we each repair the FDP.  We also reference a few items:1) Carroll Tendon Pulling Forceps (this allows easy passage through tendon sheath)2) Tendon weaver (passer).  Sharp instrument used for tendon weaves with tendon transfer surgerySubscribe to our newsletter:  https://bit.ly/3iHGFpDSee www.practicelink.com/theupperhand for more information from our partner on job search and career opportunities.See https://checkpointsurgical.com or www.nervemaster.com for information about the company and its products as well as good general information about nerve pathology. Please complete our Survey: bit.ly/3X0Gq89As always, thanks to @iampetermartin for the amazing introduction and conclusion music.Complete podcast catalog at theupperhandpodcast.wustl.edu.
