Reconstruction of Hand Extensor Tendon Injuries
Main Article Content
Abstract
Surgical intervention is required for the treatment of hand tendon injuries, which include both open and blunt traumas, and mainly impact the flexor tendons. These injuries are significant and require skillful surgical intervention. Both sorts of injuries are discussed in this article, with a particular emphasis placed on the crucial need of timely detection and adequate treatment. In order to guarantee a correct evaluation, diagnostic technologies such as ultrasonography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) play a crucial role. Consistent initial therapy and attentive followup, with an emphasis on collaborative efforts between the surgeon and the patient, are essential to achieving successful outcomes. The comprehensive rehabilitation process is not complete without the incorporation of occupational therapy and physiotherapy into the treatment schedule.
