PRACTICE AND VARIATIONS AMONG 3 HAND-REPAIR UNITS 457
VARIATIONS IN PRACTICE AND THEIR RELATIONSHIP TO OUTCOMES 459
Their Repair Sites are Usually Much Bulkier Than Those of the Lead Author 459
Pulleys Can Be Vented Through a Rather Lengthy Sheath-Pulley Segment, or Sometimes the Entire A2 Pulley if Necessary 459
Out-of-Splint Motion 459
Not Repairing the Flexor Digitorum Superficialis Tendon Causes No Adverse Outcomes 459
The Treatment of Pulleys in the Thumbs Has Not Been Standardized 460
Motion Regimen for the Thumb Has Not Been Standardized 460
OVERALL OUTCOMES AND CONSIDERATIONS 460
Slight Repair Site Bulkiness is Allowed with Tension in Core Suture 461
Wrist Positioning Is No Longer Important 461
Out-of-Splint Active Motion Is Preferred and Encouraged 461
