Area of Science:

  • Orthopedics
  • Hand Surgery
  • Rehabilitation Medicine

Background:

  • Extensor tendon injuries require careful management to restore function.
  • Traditional immobilization can lead to stiffness and adhesions.
  • Early motion is a newer approach to extensor tendon repair rehabilitation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss the indications for early motion programs in extensor tendon injuries.
  • To provide detailed guidance on implementing effective early motion protocols.
  • To highlight the benefits of early mobilization in tendon repair recovery.

Main Methods:

  • Review of current literature on extensor tendon repair and rehabilitation.
  • Clinical experience in managing patients with extensor tendon injuries.
