    Background:

    • Extensor tendon injuries are less common than flexor tendon injuries.
    • Achieving satisfactory functional outcomes after extensor tendon injuries can be difficult.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To outline the treatment of extensor tendon injuries based on anatomic zones.
    • To provide guidance on the primary repair of extensor tendon injuries.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of treatment protocols for extensor tendon injuries.
    • Classification of extensor tendon injuries by anatomic zones.
    • Guidelines for primary repair versus surgical referral.

    Main Results:

    • Primary repair is feasible in clean wounds within well-equipped emergency departments by experienced physicians.
