EXTENSOR TENDON RECONSTRUCTION VS. TENDON TRANSFER: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF OUTCOMES IN ZONE 6-8 COMPLEX EXTENSOR TENDON INJURIES

Abstract

Injuries to the extensor tendons are frequently seen, and while primary repair yields the best possible outcomes, management of tendon gap is challenging. It can be  managed by reconstruction with a tendon graft or tendon transfer. This study aims to compare the outcomes of management of complex extensor tendon injuries of fingers with tendon graft and tendon transfer in zone 6, 7.
