Abstract

Hand tendon injuries, comprising both open and blunt traumas, particularly affecting the flexor tendons, are substantial and necessitate skilled surgical intervention. This article emphasizes the critical importance of prompt identification and appropriate treatment for both types of injuries. Diagnostic tools such as ultrasound and MRI play a pivotal role in ensuring accurate assessment. Successful outcomes rely on consistent initial therapy and meticulous aftercare, emphasizing collaborative efforts between the surgeon and the patient. The integration of physiotherapy and occupational therapy is integral to the comprehensive recovery process.
