Different aspects of primary treatment of flexor tendon lesions are reviewed. Of outstanding importance are: adequate setting and instruments plus meticulous repair with fine material, avoidance of traumatic manipulation of structures and anatomical repair, use of dynamic mobilisation of reconstructed tendons within a team of well informed and motivated therapists.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a condition rarely encountered during the growth period. We describe five new cases in two large Belgian university hospitals. One case concerned a 2-year-old child suffering from disseminated angiomatosis, an association not previously reported. Another case of mild severity corresponded to the classic association of trigger fingers and carpal tunnel syndrome. The third case was posttraumatic, and the last two cases were of the familial type that previously has been reported in four families. We discuss these observations and briefly review the literature.

Intrinsic fasciotomy. When and why?

in Annales de Chirurgie de la Main : Organe Officiel des Sociétés de Chirurgie de la Main (1986), 5(4), 295-300

Major trauma to the upper extremity may lead to ischemic contracture of various muscle groups, sometimes including the intrinsic muscles of the hand. The clinical consequence of such necrotic fibrosis of ... [more ▼]

Major trauma to the upper extremity may lead to ischemic contracture of various muscle groups, sometimes including the intrinsic muscles of the hand. The clinical consequence of such necrotic fibrosis of the intrinsics is clawing of the digits with marked stiffness. After a short anatomical review of the fascias of the intrinsics, indications and operative techniques are discussed, in parallel with clinical cases. Intrinsic fasciotomy thus appears to be a major step in the prevention of digital clawing, when associated with early physiotherapy. [less ▲]

The denervated first dorsal interosseous muscle flap: a case report.

in Journal of Hand Surgery (The) (1985), 10(5), 684-6

Coverage of a dorsal defect on the hand of a child with exposed extensor tendons was provided by a denervated first dorsal interosseous muscle and splitthickness skin grafting. We do not recommend routine ... [more ▼]

Coverage of a dorsal defect on the hand of a child with exposed extensor tendons was provided by a denervated first dorsal interosseous muscle and splitthickness skin grafting. We do not recommend routine use of the first dorsal interosseous muscle as a flap; however, its use in cases in which the muscle has been denervated would seem justified. [less ▲]
