[The treatment of the extensor tendon injuries of the hand (author's transl)].
The authors treated 101 extensor tendon injuries from 1973 to 1978 in the traumatological ward of the Ist Department of Surgery at the Medical University of Pécs. During the period the number of flexor tendon injuries were only the half of the extensor tendon injuries. The methods of the employed treatments were evaluated in details by the 73 extensor tendon injuries of the 62 reexamined patients. This was almost the 2/3 part (61%) of the total extensor tendon injuries. The period between the operation and the reexamination was at least one year. Discussing the different kinds of injuries the importance of the primary repair and of the reconstructions of the anatomical connections was emphasized, moreover it was underlined that the treatment of the major extensor tendon lesions are the duty of those hand surgeons who are working in special departments.
