Abstract
An experimental study comparing Kessler’s and Tsuge’s techniques for tendon suture was undertaken in dogs. Both second and fifth flexor digitorum profundi tendons of the left forepaw were divided in the segment corresponding to zone 2 of human hands. Following division, the tendons to the second digit were repaired by Kessler’s technique and those to the fifth digit by Tsuge’s method.Keywords
