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 such as grasping and holding objects. These tendons run through a protective sheath, which helps them glide smoothly during movement. Injuries to the flexor tendons can lead to difficulty in finger movement and may require medical intervention. Treatment options often include physical therapy or surgery, depending on the severity of the injury. Proper care is essential for restoring function and preventing long-term complications.
