Outcomes were defined using the &lsquo;White&rsquo; criteria for thumbs and the &lsquo;Strickland&rsquo; criteria for other fingers.</p> <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Results:</strong> The results for range of motion of fingers were Excellent in 70.7%, good in 13.8%, fair in 6.9% and poor in 8.6%. There were 3 (5.17%) postoperative tendon ruptures.</p> <p dir="ltr" style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Discussion:</strong> Early active controlled motion with our&nbsp; rehabilitation protocol shows acceptable postoperative results. This rehabilitation protocol is more effective if carried out from the 1st to 4th weeks after surgery, under the supervision of a surgeon or hand therapist. Then, from the 4th to 6th weeks, it should be performed at a hand therapy clinic and from the 6th to 12th weeks at home, supervised by a hand therapist.</p> Flexor tendon, Early active controlled motion, Rehabilitation protocol 28 31 http://irj.uswr.ac.ir/browse.php?a_code=A-10-444-1&slc_lang=en&sid=1 Masoud Yavari masoudyy2003@yahoo.com No Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Science, Tehran, Iran.
