Recent advances in flexor tendon repair
The prognosis for restoration of good function after the treatment of a tendon lesion in 'no-man's land' is influenced by a number of factors which may be summarized as follows: - The nature of the injury. - The amplitude of the tendon excursion. - The motility of the hand. - The age of the patient. - The rehabilitation of the patient. Excellent results may usually be achieved when the preoperative conditions are favourable. Unsatisfactory results usually follow when: - the neurovascular bundles are injured and the posterior wall of the tendon sheath is damaged, - the amplitude of excursion of... Mehr ...

The prognosis for restoration of good function after the treatment of a tendon lesion in 'no-man's land' is influenced by a number of factors which may be summarized as follows: - The nature of the injury. - The amplitude of the tendon excursion. - The motility of the hand. - The age of the patient. - The rehabilitation of the patient. Excellent results may usually be achieved when the preoperative conditions are favourable. Unsatisfactory results usually follow when: - the neurovascular bundles are injured and the posterior wall of the tendon sheath is damaged, - the amplitude of excursion of the divided tendon is large, - the skin of the hand is thick and tough, - the patient is more than 20 years old, - the rehabilitation of the patient is insufficient. .
