This study details the successful surgical repair of extensor tendon lacerations in a preterm neonate, resulting from an emergency Cesarean section. Both utilized tendon repair techniques led to excellent clinical outcomes for the infant.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal surgery
  • Orthopedic surgery
  • Fetal medicine

Background:

  • Intraoperative complications during Cesarean sections can affect neonates.
  • Tendon injuries in preterm infants are rare and pose unique surgical challenges.

Observation:

  • A 30-week gestation fetus sustained two extensor tendon lacerations during an emergency Cesarean section.
  • The injuries required immediate surgical intervention in the neonatal period.

Findings:

  • Two distinct surgical techniques were employed to repair the extensor tendon lacerations.
  • Both repair methods resulted in excellent clinical outcomes for the preterm neonate.

Implications:

  • This case demonstrates the feasibility and success of prompt tendon repair in neonates.
