background tendon injuries are one of the most common injuries of the hand and challenging problems in trauma surgery. they usually require surgical repair and unlike the single tendon injuries, flexor tendon injuries have higher morbidities when accompanied with nerve injuries. in the present study, i aimed to report the clinical experiences and outcomes about tendon injuries. methods a total ...

BACKGROUND Tendon injuries are one of the most common injuries of the hand and challenging problems in trauma surgery. They usually require surgical repair and unlike the single tendon injuries, flexor tendon injuries have higher morbidities when accompanied with nerve injuries. In the present study, I aimed to report the clinical experiences and outcomes about tendon injuries. METHODS ...

background laceration of the hand extensor tendons is common in the upper extremities, causing soft tissue trauma. these tendons, because of their superficial location and lying adjacent to bones, have a greater tendency to be injured than flexor tendons. objectives the aim of this study was to determine the results of primary repairs of lacerated extensor tendons of the fingers, with respect t...

Injuries of the flexor tendon are usually open injuries. In most cases primary treatment is therefore seldom performed by orthopaedic surgeons. This is different for injuries of the extensor tendon. Three quarters of injuries of the extensor tendon are closed injuries. Therefore we do go into primary and secondary reconstruction of the flexor tendon, but focus on primary and secondary reconstru...

Extensor tendon injuries are very common injuries, which inappropriately treated can cause severe lasting impairment for the patient. Assessment and management of flexor tendon injuries has been widely reviewed, unlike extensor injuries. It is clear from the literature that extensor tendon repair should be undertaken immediately but the exact approach depends on the extensor zone. Zone I injuri...

Until recently, extensor tendon injuries were often discounted as an important hand problem. However, studies have shown that not all extensor lacerations fare well and that loss of flexion can be problematic. Newer postoperative protocols emphasizing tendon gliding have improved results, and better repair techniques and postoperative rehabilitation regimens are under investigation. This articl...

The treatment of extensor tendon injuries of the hand is based on Verdan's division of the different sections into eight zones. Taking the anatomic characteristics of those zones into consideration, good functional results can be achieved in most cases by differentiating between indications for operative or conservative treatment. The most frequent extensor tendon injury of the hand is the clos...
