Flexor Pulley Injury in Rock Climbers
This video explains the technique to perform surgery of an A2 and A4 flexor tendon pulley reconstruction for multiple closed pulley disruption in rock climbers.
Closed flexor tendon pulley disruption is the most common injury in rock and sport climbing. Most injuries concern only one (A2 or A4) or two (A2-A3 or A3-A4) pulleys and can be treated conservatively. Triple pulley injuries (A2-A3-A4) are less common but can lead to pain and extension deficit in the PIP joint which might require surgery.
