[Behavior of the long extensor tendon of the thumb in experiments].
Experimental studies on the long extensor tendon of the thumb have shown that experimental rupture of the tendon occurs in the same region as in clinical cases. The application of a new plastic imprint method has demonstrated an area of smallest diameter in the tendon. This part is nearly identical with the usual site of the rupture, which can, therefore, be simulated in experiments.
