Comparison of Suture Techniques in Forearm and Wrist Flexor Tendon Injury

Öz

ABSTRACT Background/Aims: Different suturing techniques are performed in tendon repairs after forearm flexor tendon injury. But there is not much information about their results in the literature. The main goals of flexor tendon repairs are strong repair and early mobilization. The aim of this study was to compare the results of the modified Kessler technique alone and modified Kessler suture with a running epitenon suture technique in flexor tendon repairs in this region and to evaluate the postoperative success rates. Methods: This study was conducted between March 2017 and November 2020. The study comprised of 68 patients. Repair was performed only by the modified Kessler technique to 34 of these patients. The other 34 patients underwent reinforcement with modified Kessler suture with a running epitenon suture. Passive flexion exercises accompanied by a physiotherapist were started on the 5th day after surgery. After the 10th day, active flexion exercise was started again under the supervision of a physiotherapist. Wrist immobilization was performed for one month. The function of the tendons was evaluated according to Tang grading during 12-month follow-up of the patients. Results: Patients in the modified Kessler suture with a running epitenon suture group showed better results than those in the Modified Kessler group, for the adhesion, limitation of motion and Tang grading variables. Conclusions: Good results were obtained in most of the patients following forearm flexor tendon repair. Especially the modified Kessler suture with a running epitenon suture technique provides a stronger repair in these patients and improves outcomes by facilitating rehabilitation.
