“…Slater RR et al [9] found similar incidence where most of the patients were between 20 to 40 years. In the present prospective study, dominant right hand was injured in 20 patients (66.67%) and so was reported by Crosby CA et al [10] and Pandey VK et al [11] . Numerous causes of tendon injuries have been mentioned in the literature by Fowler SB et al [12] and Saini et al [13] and these vary widely in different series probably because of difference in demographic and social situations.…”

“…Both simple injuries and those with the addition of joint capsule injury only achieved 64% good to excellent results. Crosby CA et al [16] used dynamic splinting giving 92% good to excellent results. Hence it is concluded that controlled early active mobilization gives better results than static splinting and it's comparable to dynamic splinting protocol.…”

Extensor tendon injury is one common hand injury occurring in young individuals. Extensor tendons are superficially located with minimal amount of subcutaneous tissue that predisposes the extensor mechanism to more complex tendon injuries. Surgical repair of extensor tendon requires an exact knowledge of anatomy, careful adherence to some basic surgical principles, sound clinical judgment, strict atraumatic surgical technique and a well-planned postoperative programme. We conducted this study to find out common causes of extensor tendon injuries, evaluation of hand function after repair of extensor tendon injuries and evaluation of effect of time elapsed between onset of injury to tendon repair on the final outcome. The functional outcome after tendon repair was assessed by calculating Total Active range of Motion (TAM). After the evaluation of result we concluded that the higher percentage of excellent and good cases is might be attributable to strong and meticulous repair in which more aggressive physiotherapy was tolerated by the patients and the tendons should be repaired preferably primarily.

“…The risk of adhesions requiring tenolysis (0% to 9%) 12 appears greater than the risk of a tendon rupture (0% to 7%). 7 Neither tendon ruptures nor tenolysis occurred in our study. Minimizing the need for secondary surgery will ultimately lead to lower costs.…”

“…It might be that the Silfverskiöld repair is strong enough to allow early active mobilization, which, as with flexors, can lead to a higher proportion of good or excellent outcomes. 26,27 Interlocking horizontal mattress sutures also leave a larger amount of external suture material. Accounting for strength and stiffness, as well as considering ease of repair and amount of external suture, the buried Silfverskiöld might be the optimum repair.…”
