1. Biomolecular Aspects of Flexor Tendon Healing
Abstract : Flexor tendon injuries in zone II of the hand (i.e. between the distal volar crease and the distal interphalangeal joint) can be costly for both the afflicted individual and society because of the high cost of a long rehabilitation period, complicated by tendon ruptures or scarring with adhesion formation, causing impaired range of motion.

2. Intrasynovial flexor tendon injuries and repair
Abstract : Complications after surgical repair of intrasynovial flexor tendon injuries in the hand occur despite advanced suture techniques and structured postoperative rehabilitation regimens. Early controlled tendon mobilization prevents adhesion formations and improves tendon healing as well as digit range of motion. READ MORE

3. Flexor tendon repair : rehabilitation adherence, outcome and complications
Abstract : Flexor tendon injuries in the finger (zones 1 and 2) are problematic due to high rates of both rupture of the repair and of soft tissue adhesions resulting in poor range of motion. Both complications often result in reoperations and worse outcome of the injury. Rehabilitation after flexor tendon repair is a balancing act for the patient. READ MORE

4. Hand injuries - epidemiology, costs and outcome
Abstract : Hand injuries have a profound impact not only on the patient’s activity of daily living and during leisure time but also on working capability. Such injuries may therefore also generate substantial costs for society in terms of sick-leave and treatment. READ MORE

5. The effect of galanin message-associated peptide in spinal sensory processing
Abstract : Galanin message associated peptide (GMAP), the C-terminal flanking peptide in the precursor protein of galanin, has been studied to established whether this peptide has its own biological action. With some exceptions, GMAP is generally co-localized with galanin in the central nervous system as well as the peripheral nervous system. READ MORE
