title: [Therapeutic concept and results of treatment of subcutaneous extensor tendon rupture of the finger end joint].
abstract: This study covers treatment and after-treatment of 95 extensor tendon injuries of the DIP-joint in 94 patients over a period of 3 years. Tendon injuries were classified into 4 types according to Suckert et al. and the final results were evaluated using a modified Riedeberger and Zeumer scale. In recent subcutaneous tendon injuries conservative therapy is indicated, depending on the primary extension deficit (less than 20 degrees = modified Stack splint, greater than 20 degrees = Mommsen plaster of Paris or special dressing). Chip fractures should be stabilized by pull-out suture.
