[Recent injuries of finger flexor tendons in children].
Fifty children had been treated for recent injuries to the flexor tendons. In them, 98 lesions, of which half were at the palm or the wrist and the other half in areas I or II of the fingers. All the divided tendons were primarily repaired, using a combination of a frame suture and two casting sutures. The results seemed to be better when post-operative mobilisation using Kleinert's technique was used. The overall results were better than those obtained in adults. The indications for secondary tenolysis were infrequent when primary suture was correctly made and spontaneous improvement was noted for up to a year.
