Abstract
Abstract
Background: Flexor tendon injuries have constituted a large concern in hand surgery over many years with an incidence about 4.83 per 100,000 persons. Yet many controversies are still including technique of repair and therapy. Our study aim is to collect more date regarding the functional outcomes of flexor tendon repair under Wide-Awake Local Anesthesia No Tourniquet (WALANT) versus Brachial Plexus Block (BPB). Methods: All patients who underwent a primary flexor tendon repair had a tendon injury in zone I or II. A total of 30 flexor tendon repairs were done which meet the inclusion criteria. Simple randomization was used that odd numbered patients were operated with WALANT and even numbered patients with BPB. Results: Thirty zone I or II flexor tendon repairs were included in the final analysis. This consisted of 20 men and 10 women at a mean age of 28 years (SD: 8) and a mean follow-up of 6 months Age was insignificantly different between the two groups. There was significantly higher mean operative time in group II (BPB) compared to group I (WALANT) (p =
