Tendon Rupture
Tendons are the structures that allow our hands and fingers to move, to grasp things with our hands, to hold, and to make all the movements of our fingers. Tendons that bend our fingers inward are called flexor tendons, and tendons that allow us to lift our fingers are called Extensor tendons. Incorrect treatments after tendon incisions cause limitation of finger and hand movement, preventing the active use of our hands. This can affect our lives in a very negative way.
Treatment in Tendon Rupture
The definitive treatment in tendon incisions is performed by a Hand Surgery Specialist. The cut tendon ends are found and TENORAFI (Tendon repair) procedure is performed with the microsurgery method. After the operation, the hand is followed by a plaster splint.
