Abstract

Background: Injury to the extensor tendon of the hand is not a rare disease, but the treatment results are poor. Objectives: To describe clinical characteristics and results of surgical treatment of wrist extensor tendon injuries at Viet Duc hospital, 2019-2020. Subjects and methods: A case series descriptive study on 82 patients with simple extensor tendon injury, patients scheduled a follow-up visit after at least 6 months and evaluated the results according to Dargan's criteria. Results: Male (87.8%); average age was 36.0 years old, the main cause of injury was occupational and daily-life accidents (62.2% and 35.4%). Left hand injury (54.9%) and one tendon (64.7%), completed tendon rupture rate (91.4%); partial tendon rupture (6.3%) and loss of tendon segment (2.3%). All tendons were treated with direct tendon suture. The results were good (71.8%) and good (20.4%), moderate (5.8%) and poor (1.9%). Good extensor tendon function was higher in the rehabilitation group than in the non-exercise group. Conclusion: Most of the extensor tendon injuries in the wrist area have good surgical results; poorer results in the non-rehabilitation group.
