Resumo

The development of an internationally accepted system of assessment of results after flexor tendon repair is important. In a prospective study of ninety-five digits, gross discrepancies were demonstrated between five popular methods of assessment: Buck-Gramcko, linear measurement, Grossman, American Society for Surgery of the Hand, and Strickland. The relative merits of each systems were studied and modifications for the Buck-Gramcko system are suggested.
