  This study focused on the psychosocial impact that hand surgery, specifically flexor tendon surgery, has on patients. Most of the current research on outcomes of post surgical interventions focuses on physical function and assumes that psychological and social outcomes follow. However, this study found that this is not always the case. The findings were that flexor tendon injury impacts an individuals' life as a whole, we need to approach hand therapy in a more holistic manner, and how heavily individuals with flexor tendon injuries rely on family and friends to help them through their rehabilitation phase. The study also revealed that there is a need for more research in this area.
