[Analysis of change in finger function after flexor tenolysis].
39 fingers in 31 patients were examined on the average of 117,6 months after flexor tenolysis of the finger. Results were classified according to Millesi's scheme and compared to the preoperative situation. For control, the criteria according to Buck-Gramcko were applied as well. In 23 fingers tenolysis resulted in an improved function, 13 cases remained unchanged and three cases were seen worse than before tenolysis. The number of improved fingers, the gradual improvement and the final result depended upon the affected finger and the primary operation which proceeded tenolysis. Best results were obtained in the thumb and after primary tendon repair. The results which were classified according to Millesi's scheme showed a highly significant correlation to those according to Buck-Gramcko's classification.
