Abstract |
The restitution of flexor tendon injuries of the hand according to the tissue-sparing method and functional follow-up treatment indicated by H. Kleinert and his collaborators has become very important in the acute treatment of fresh injuries of the hand. Having applied this method in the treatment of 176 patients suffering from 346 separated flexor tendons in 235 fingers, we are now able to present the limited indication. The surgical proceeding and the complications occurred are described, and the results found in the cases submitted to a follow-up examination (141 patients, 284 resutured flexor tendons in 194 fingers) are presented.
