Objective A small percentage of patients have inadequate velopharyngeal closure, or secondary incompetence, following primary palatoplasty. Use the buccinator musculomucosal flap has been described for palate repair with lengthening, but its use in lengthening correction insufficient closure not described.

We reviewed 34 patients with 65 zone 2 flexor tendon injuries in 39 digits whose outcome had been prospectively studied an earlier investigation at a mean of 10.6 years after repair. Grip strength was assessed using Jamar dynamometer. Outcome grip relation to normal data indicated excellent or good 94% patients, fair 3% and poor 3%. Using the grading system recommended by American Society for Surgery Hand, active range motion graded as 75% digits, 15% 10%. These results compare favourably...
