Injuries of the Extensor Tendons
摘要
The extensor system is composed of an extrinsic system and an intrinsic system that work in synergy during the digital extension. The most frequent injuries of this system are subcutaneous ruptures in zones 1, 2, or 3, the treatment of which is orthotic, or open traumas that are treated with surgery. In every case, rehabilitation must start as early as possible to limit fibrosis, which is responsible for the loss of glidings in the extensor system. It must also be dosed in order not to put excessive tension on the tendinous callus. The protocols are different depending on the damaged area and the type of injury.
