Flexor Tendons
Flexor tendons are strong, fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones in the fingers and hands. They allow for the bending and flexing of the fingers, enabling various movements essential for daily tasks. These tendons run along the palm side of the hand and are crucial for gripping and holding objects.
Injuries to flexor tendons can occur due to cuts, lacerations, or trauma, often leading to difficulty in finger movement. Treatment may involve surgery to repair the tendons, followed by rehabilitation to restore function. Proper care is essential to prevent complications and ensure recovery.
