Abstract

The International Federation of Societies for Surgery of the Hand presents a classification that divides the flexor tendon area of the fingers into 7 different regions. Each of these regions has its own characteristics depending on the structures that pass through them or the quality of their vascularization. In cases of injury, it is important to have this knowledge in order to guide the rehabilitation treatment towards an early and effective recovery. This article describes each of the areas and the clinical implication of the corresponding injury.
