This study will serve as a pilot-study for a future randomized controlled trial. Adult patients with zone 2 flexor tendon lacerations of the hand (anatomically from the A1 pulley of the hand to the insertion of the flexor digitorum superficialis) who have presented to the emergency room acutely (within 1 week of injury) at the Health Sciences Center in Winnipeg will be asked for their participation in this study. Consent will be obtained by a plastic surgery resident either in the emergency room or in the plastic surgency emergency decanting clinic. The investigators will include twenty-four patients in the study, randomized into one of two treatment groups (groups A and B) by block randomization. Randomization will be done once patients agree to participate in the study. All patients will be booked for surgery on the emergency slate. Each treatment group will be treated by a single surgeon who is an expert at treatment of these injuries. Group A patients will have their laceration(s) repaired using a modified Becker repair technique using stainless steel suture in the operating room, and then will proceed to undergo an aggressive early active range of motion rehabilitation administered by the hand therapists at HSC. Group B patients will undergo a double-locking loop suture repair using polypropylene. They will then undergo a less aggressive active range of motion rehabilitation protocol which is currently offered to patients at our center. Follow-up will occur in plastic surgery outpatient clinic at post-operative weeks 1, 2, 4, 6 and 12. Follow-up with hand therapy will be at the discretion of the therapists. At each visit with hand therapy, joint range of motion will be assessed at the PIP and DIP joints in the affected fingers. Final range of motion will be assessed using the Strickland system for evaluating flexor tendon surgery outcomes, and will be done by a blinded hand therapist.
