Abstract
ObjectiveTo explore the effect of reconstructing the finger extension function by using partial flexor digitorum profundus tendon transposition.
MethodsTwelve patients were treated by using the partial proximal end of the tendon core of flexor digitorum profundus tendon regionⅠand part of region Ⅱ to cut off to the base of the distal digital phalanx, and puncturing at the end of the phalanx with a 2.0 drill. The tendon strips were pierced to the back overlap sutured to the proximal end of the avulsion of the extensor tendon .
ResultsIn 3-18 month follow-up, the average follow-up duration was 10.6 months. According to Dargan function evaluation method, 12 cases were excellent and one case was poor.
ConclusionsThe method of reconstructing the extensor tendon by partial flexor deep tendon is a reliable method for the treatment of Mallet finger.
