Abstract:
Extensor tendon adhesions following laceration, fracture, or crush injuries will prevent normal joint function. Tenolysis often will not address the resulting stiffness. A systematic release of the extensors, joint capsule, collateral ligaments, and occasionally the flexor tendons is needed to restore function.
