Flexor tendon surgery has changed considerably due to intensive advances in research during the last decades. It was interesting to note in our survey that German hand surgeons have adapted their suture technique within the last years based on the results of the literature. Our results clearly show that convincing scientific data has an influence on the choice of surgical technique and that discussions about new techniques, e. g. in the context of annual meetings, may well stimulate the auditorium to rethink.
