title: [Progress in primary management of the extensor tendon].
abstract: Extensor tendon injuries are conventionally treated by immobilizing the involved digit in an extended position for 4-6 weeks, followed by active mobilization. This regimen is compared with early controlled active mobilization with dynamic splintage. The improved results are demonstrated.
