[Diagnosis of flexor tendon injuries of the hand].
Open or closed flexor tendon injuries may be caused by a variety of circumstances. Loss of function based on flexor tendon injuries is quite often missed. Therefore, a precise knowledge of the anatomy, the biomechanical behaviour of tendons and the intrinsic hand muscles enables the clinician to examine flexor tendon injuries adequately. This article focuses on relevant clinical tests for flexor tendon injuries.
