Live Webinar
Nov 09, 2025
5 Contact Hours ...OVERVIEW
Therapeutic Management of Flexor Tendon Injuries in Pediatric Patients is organized by Rehab Education and will be held on Nov 09, 2025.
Description:
The post operative management of flexor tendon repair requires specific knowledge of the appropriate treatment intervention, especially for the pediatric population. This hybrid online course will review basic flexor tendon anatomy, compare the etiology of adult vs. pediatric injuries, describe common surgical intervention, and review research/rationale for early active treatment.
The instructors will present an evidence-based, step-by-step approach, stressing a balance between tendon protection and healing. Pediatric focused treatment suggestions and home program ideas will be provided for each step of the process, including later scar management techniques.
What You Will Learn:
By the end of this course, participants will:
- Identify three characteristics of appropriate pediatric candidates for early active motion treatment protocols
- Describe the current recommended position of the wrist, MP joints and IP joints in an appropriate immobilization device after surgical repair of a flexor tendon.
- Fabricate a dorsal blocking orthosis following the instructional video. The participant will submit a photo of the orthosis which will be critiqued in a live Zoom with instructors.
- List two factors that should be assessed at each visit to determine pace of progression of your treatment protocol.
- Identify 2 strategies to help improve compliance with home program and orthotic use for a pediatric patient who recently underwent surgical repair of the flexor tendon.
- Devise a treatment plan for assigned case study and submit it for review in a live Zoom with the instructors
