The epidemiology of reoperation after flexor tendon repair.
PURPOSE To describe the incidence of reoperation and the demographic factors that may be associated with reoperation after flexor tendon repair. METHODS Using a New York statewide hospital administrative database covering an 8-year period, we examined unique patient discharges with an index procedure of flexor tendon repair for reoperation (re-repair or tenolysis). We compared the age, sex, r...
متن کاملFlexor tendon pulley injury in a bowler.
Closed traumatic flexor injuries of the hand involving the pulley mechanism are a relatively common injury seen in rock climbers but are very rare in nonclimbers, including bowlers. The injury was first described in 1990. Since then, several studies have shed more light on the diagnostic and therapeutic considerations. Early diagnosis of pulley injuries is crucial since delayed diagnosis can le...
متن کاملThe "turtleneck" pulley plasty for finger flexor tendon repair.
Injuries to the flexor tendons are frequent. Even when correctly treated, they can cause a loss of mobility of the digits secondary to postoperative adhesions. Further, conflicts between the tendon suture and the pulleys can limit the range of motion of the tendon and the flexion of the fingers. We propose a new pulley plasty that permits immediate retraining and avoids conflict with the tendon...
متن کاملImpact of taping after finger flexor tendon pulley ruptures in rock climbers.
Flexor tendon pulley ruptures are the most common injury in rock climbers. Therapeutic standards usually include a prolonged use of taping applied as a replacement for the lost pulley in a circular fashion at the base of the proximal phalanx. Our biomechanical considerations, however, suggest a new taping method, the H-tape. The purpose of the study is to evaluate whether this new taping method...
متن کاملStatic and dynamic human flexor tendon-pulley interaction.
The aim of the study was to investigate the influence of a preceding flexion or extension movement on the static interaction of human finger flexor tendons and pulleys concerning flexion torque being generated. Six human fresh frozen cadaver long fingers were mounted in an isokinetic movement device for the proximal interphalangeal (PIP) joint. During flexion and extension movement both flexor ...
