Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Historically, flexor tendon injuries have been the focus of multiple treatment techniques, splinting approaches, and protocols. However, extensor tendon injuries can also have significant problems, such as extensor lag and wrist tenodesis. Because these deficits seem to have less of an effect on our daily functions, when compared to the flexors, less emphasis is seen in the literature. These authors have set up a splinting and exercise program that could help elevate our dealing with problems associated with healing extensor tendons. |
