We report granuloma formation after using FiberWire ® for flexor tendon repairs. Four subcutaneous granulomas were identified in 115 patients with FiberWire ® core sutures, none in 426 with braided polyester. Foreign body reactions were found in the granuloma cases. We suggest early suture removal if this specific complication is encountered.
