  • Title: Tendon injuries--extensor surface.
    Author: Herndon JH.
    Journal: Emerg Med Clin North Am; 1985 May; 3(2):333-40. PubMed ID: 3996300.
    Abstract:
    Although discussed much less than flexor tendon injuries, achievement of satisfactory function is difficult with these injuries. Under proper circumstances in clean wounds, and in a well equipped emergency department, they can be primarily repaired if the examining physician has the experience. If these conditions are not possible, the patient should be referred to a qualified hand surgeon. The author outlines treatment according to anatomic zones.
