AB Repair  of  the  lacerated  flexor  tendon  should  only  be  performed  under  ideal  conditions,  because  the  best  (and  sometimes  only)  opportunity  for  a  good  functional  result  is  the  first  attempt  at  repair.  Presence  of  severe  contamination,  infection,  or  massive  tissue  destruction  should  be  a  contraindication  for  immediate  repair.  Debridement  and  wound  preparation  should  be  performed  first  with  delayed  repair  performed  at  a  later  time.
