[Injuries to the extensor tendons of the fingers].
The main risks in case of extensor tendon laceration are firstly, the possibility of misdiagnosis, and secondly the occurrence of adhesions which can compromise the excursion of the extensor apparatus. Extensor tendon lesions at the dorsum of the wrist and hand have a better prognosis regarding the postoperative results than lesions at the finger level. Protected early mobilisation methods represent a real advance in the postoperative management of extensor tendon lesions.
