Conductor for tendons

Abstract

Conducting the injured end of the tendon under the finger block ligament in the so-called critical zone presents significant technical difficulties. Narrowness of the lumen under the block ligament leads to usbarization, unravelling of the conducted tendon end, and repeated attempts lead to traumatization of both the block ligament and the tendon end, and to an increase in the operation time. The use of the existing guide from V.I. Rozov's set does not eliminate the above drawbacks. If it is impossible to guide the tendon, it is often necessary to longitudinally dissect the block ligament with its subsequent suturing over the tendon, which leads to scar adhesion of the tendon with the sutured ligament in the postoperative period. This prolongs the immobilization period and worsens the functional outcomes of the surgery.
