A retrospective review of 50 cases treated over a 12-month period with 95 tendon injuries was carried out. Post-operative management utilising a modified Kleinert method was used for cases over eight years of age, while those under eight were immobilised in plaster cast. Our results after a mean follow up period of 14 weeks compared well with other series using the Kleinert method. Zone II injuries gave an unexpected better results than those in other zones.
