[Dynamic extensor tendon treatment in "no man's land"]

P Brüser

    Zeitschrift Fur Plastische Chirurgie
    |June 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    Dynamic treatment of flexor tendons allows successful primary tendon repair, even in Zone II injuries. This method enhances gliding amplitudes for better functional recovery.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic surgery
    • Hand surgery
    • Musculoskeletal research

    Context:

    • Zone II flexor tendon injuries present significant surgical challenges.
    • Traditional treatments may lead to adhesions and limited range of motion.
    • Early controlled motion is crucial for optimal tendon healing.

    Purpose:

    • To describe the indications, operative technique, and postoperative care for dynamic flexor tendon treatment.
    • To evaluate the efficacy of dynamic treatment in achieving successful primary tendon suture in Zone II.
    • To demonstrate the working mechanism through measurement of gliding amplitudes.

    Summary:

    • Dynamic treatment enables successful primary flexor tendon suture in Zone II.
    • The technique involves specific operative procedures and postoperative management.
    • Gliding amplitudes were measured to validate the mechanism of action.

    Impact:

    • Offers a viable surgical option for complex Zone II flexor tendon injuries.
    • Potentially improves functional outcomes and reduces complications like adhesions.
    • Provides objective data on the effectiveness of dynamic tendon treatment.
