Tóm tắt

In a prospective review we assessed the results of extensor tendon injuries managed postoperatively with a static splint. Thirty-three patients with 44 injured digits were assessed 4 months after primary tendon repair, using the Strickland-Glogovac criteria. Patients were managed in a static splint, the duration of which was guided by the zone of injury. Four months after repair, excellent or good results were obtained in 95%. Overall it was found that static splinting was an effective and safe method of management after extensor tendon repair.
