[Extensor tendon injuries of the hand].
The treatment of extensor tendon injuries of the hand is based on Verdan's division of the different sections into eight zones. Taking the anatomic characteristics of those zones into consideration, good functional results can be achieved in most cases by differentiating between indications for operative or conservative treatment. The most frequent extensor tendon injury of the hand is the clos...
متن کاملRecurrent dislocation of extensor tendons in the hand.
Dislocation of a tendon of extensor digitorum from its median position on the metacarpal head during flexion of the metacarpo-phalangeal joint is a rare occurrence, though from its exposed position it will not often pass unnoticed. Sir James Paget mentioned three cases in 1875 and Marsh a further four in 1896, since when its pathology and treatment have received occasional mention and discussio...
متن کاملExtensor Tendon Injuries in the Hand.
Until recently, extensor tendon injuries were often discounted as an important hand problem. However, studies have shown that not all extensor lacerations fare well and that loss of flexion can be problematic. Newer postoperative protocols emphasizing tendon gliding have improved results, and better repair techniques and postoperative rehabilitation regimens are under investigation. This articl...
متن کامل[Flexor and extensor tendon injuries of the hand].
Injuries of the flexor tendon are usually open injuries. In most cases primary treatment is therefore seldom performed by orthopaedic surgeons. This is different for injuries of the extensor tendon. Three quarters of injuries of the extensor tendon are closed injuries. Therefore we do go into primary and secondary reconstruction of the flexor tendon, but focus on primary and secondary reconstru...
متن کاملDislocation of the extensor tendons of the hand. Report of a case.
MATERIAL AND METHODS Traumatic dislocation of the extensor tendon over the metacarpophalangeal (MCP) joint is a rare lesion that is caused by the dysfunction or rupture of the sagittal band, which is an important stabilizing structure of the extensor tendon. This mechanical alteration presents itself as instability that affects function and may cause pain or snapping during finger motion. The d...
