Abstract :
AIM & OBJECTIVE:To share our experience in isolated flexor tendon injuries of hand trauma.
MATERIALS&METHODS:About 47 adult hands with flexor tendon injury of varying zones from Dec 2016 upto Nov 2017 for a period of 1 year was taken into study. X ray screening was done in all patients to rule out bony injuries. The tendon repair done by modified Kessler’s technique using 3–0 proleneand 2–0 prolene. Post operative immobilisation was done for 3 weeks followed by passive mobilisation exercises and active mobilisation exercises.
RESULTS:Of the 47 hands , 17 were in zone 1(7.99%) ,12 in zone 2(5.64%),5 in zone 3(2.35%),4 in zone 4(1.88%),9 in zone 5 (4.23%). The patients with early intervention following injury had relatively good results with better healing and good range of mobilisation.
CONCLUSION:Isolated Flexor tendon injuries if intervened earlier provides good outcome.
