We conducted a literature review to highlight the diagnosis and treatment of hand flexor tendon injuries and discuss the current state of the science of hand surgery in the Republic of Kazakhstan. We reviewed the Google Scholar, PubMed, Web of Science, Elsevier, and National Center for Biotechnology Information databases and other printed sources for open access articles in three languages. We accepted relevant scientific articles that reflected the peculiarities of restoring function of the tendon flexors of the hand. We reviewed articles from the present to the previous 20 years and included 31 of these sources in our literature review. The medical examination of a patient who has sustained a flexor tendon injury should be thorough and gradual, supported by ultrasound and X-ray examination. For effective restoration of hand function following a hand injury, it is important for the surgeon to conduct a step-by-step assessment of the damage that has occurred to soft tissues, superficial and deep tendons, bones, nerves, and blood vessels. The main goal of tendon repair is to preserve tendon function. It is also known that early postoperative tendon movement leads to faster healing. The most frequent complications associated with flexor tendon repair include the development of adhesions, wound infection, tendon rupture, impaired hand function, and scar formation. Relative to the state of the science in the Republic of Kazakhstan, we conclude that hand surgery should be performed by highly skilled specialists in the field of microsurgery in a specialized department with microsurgical equipment.
