The primary suture was put in 40 patients with 55 injuries of the tendons. The study of the long-term results of the treatment after putting the primary suture on 40 tendons of the flexors of the fingers of the hand has shown that in 21 patients who were put the sutures proposed by the authors there were excellent and good results in 90.4% of the cases. When classical sutures were put and the fingers were immobilized after the operation in 19 patients, the results were excellent and good in 84.3% of the cases, which was mostly at the expense of tenodesis effect in the distal interphalangeal joint.
