[Primary care of extensor tendon injuries]

H G Haas

    Handchirurgie
    |January 1, 1981
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study details surgical techniques for finger extensor tendon injuries. Primary sutures are recommended for open wounds, while operative measures are preferred for closed ruptures at the proximal interphalangeal joint and beyond.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Hand surgery
    • Anatomy

    Context:

    • Extensor apparatus of the fingers
    • Extensor tendons of the metacarpus and wrist
    • Open and closed tendon ruptures

    Purpose:

    • To outline therapeutic strategies for extensor tendon injuries
    • To describe preferred surgical techniques
    • To differentiate treatment based on injury location and type

    Summary:

    • Anatomical considerations guide therapeutic conclusions for finger extensor tendon injuries.
    • Primary sutures are viable for open wounds unless defects or infection risk exist.
    • A preferred technique involves a barbed central wire suture with peripheral sutures for open wounds.
    • Operative treatment is favored for closed ruptures at the proximal interphalangeal joint and more proximal areas, while conservative or operative options exist for distal interphalangeal joint ruptures.

    Impact:

    • Improved surgical outcomes for extensor tendon injuries
    • Standardized treatment protocols for hand surgeons
    • Enhanced understanding of anatomical implications in tendon repair
