Summary
Fascia lata autografts effectively reconstruct neglected zone VII extensor tendon injuries in children, even with large gaps. Early rehabilitation is crucial for optimal hand function recovery after this surgical repair.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedic Surgery
- Hand Surgery
- Reconstructive Surgery
Background:
- Extensor tendon injuries, especially in zone VII, pose significant reconstructive challenges when neglected.
- Delayed presentations often involve tendon retraction, fibrosis, and increased gaps, complicating primary repair.
