Abstract
One hundred and twenty-two patients with lacerated extensor tendons of the hand were admitted to and treated in Kanto-Rosai Hospital between 1966 and 1974. Of these, 36 patients were recently re-examined and the follow-up results are summarized.
No correlation could be seen between the results of treatment and (a) the ages of the patients, (b) the periods from injury to reconstructive surgery, or (c) the topographical distribution of the lacerated tendons.
