METHOD OF TREATMENT OF DAMAGED FLEXOR DIGITORUM PROFUNDUS TENDON AT LEVEL PROXIMAL AND MEDIAL PHALANXES WITH APPLICATION OF THE ORIGINAL SUTURE
Cosmetic defects including scar defects, failure of tendon suture leading to impaired function of the finger were estimated among all cases of treatment of the injured tendon of flexor digitorum profundus. To estimate the location of incision line we proposed new term “furrow line”. Additional skin incisions should not be excessive, but has to be sufficient. Failure of tendon suture was observed during tendon dehiscence due to incorrect surgical technique. Rupture of tendon anastomosis was caused by suture cutting through tendon. Mechanical strength of the tendon suture is one of the main requirement. In conclusion: in this article we proposed new incision lines for injured tendons and developed new technique of tendon suture.
