Abstrakt     Background and aim: Our study was multi-centre, prospective and comparative. Two flexor tendon repair motion protocols were compared: the Kleinert's method which is commonly accepted in Slovenia, and the Duran's method which is believed to be safe, being based on passive therapeutic exercises only, so that there is minimum risk of rupture. The null hypothesis was that the Duran's method was better that the Kleinert's method. Subjects and methods: The sample represented the patients who injured both flexor tendons in zone II and had primary surgical care in the period between February 2001 and November 2002. Two consecutive groups were formed. There was one tendon re-rupture in each group, so that 17 patients remained in the Kleinert' s group, and 16 patients in the Duran's; the number of fingers was, however, the same in both groups: 18. We were interested in the reached range of movement of fingers as well as the function of the hand. To compare the range of movement, the formula of Strickland and Glogovac was used. The results were graded by the original Strickland criteria. Function of the injured hands was tested by the use of a questionnaire. Results: To analyse statistically the range of movement at the end of the regimen, the unpaired two-sample t-test was used, whereas the Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare statistically the results, based on assessment of Stricktand criteria. The percentage of excellent and good results was then tested with the test of proportions. No statistically significant differences were stated with any of the tests. Pearson's correlation coefficient and linear regression were used to find out if there was linear correlation between the function of the hand and the range of movement of the fingers in both methods of kinezitherapy. The difference between the two groups was statistically insignificant also in this respect. (Abstract truncated at 2000 characters).
