How Hold Size Changes Tendon Load (15mm vs 10mm...
Hold size changes tendon path, joint angles, and pulley stress. Larger edges keep forces smooth and stable, 10 mm edges increase sensitivity, and 6 mm edges create sharp angles that...

Bowstringing: What It Is and Why It Matters to ...
Bowstringing happens when the flexor tendon lifts away from the bone, increasing pulley tension and destabilizing the finger. It’s the core mechanical failure behind most pulley injuries and is triggered...
