Evaluation Of Clinical And Cost Analysis Of Patients Applying To The Emergency Service With Extensor Tendon Incision In The Upper Extremity

Öz

ABSTRACT Bacground/Aims: Hand trauma is common in emergency departments, with approximately 20% of regional traumas involving hand injuries. Extensor tendon lacerations, often caused by sharp objects, are frequently encountered but may be overlooked, leading to significant morbidity. This study aims to retrospectively review cases of extensor tendon lacerations in the upper extremities to highlight the importance of thorough evaluation and management in the emergency department. Methods: A single-center retrospective study included 114 patients presenting to the emergency department with extensor tendon lacerations. Data on patient demographics, injury characteristics, treatment, complications, and costs were collected and analyzed. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 26.0. Results: The majority of patients were male adults, with sharp objects such as knives being the most common cause of injury. Extensor tendon repairs were predominantly performed in the emergency department, with complications observed in 14.9% of cases. The mean cost of treatment was $255.97. Factors influencing the decision to perform repair in the operating room included patient age, injury characteristics, and associated injuries. Conclusions: Extensor tendon lacerations in the upper extremities represent a significant burden in emergency departments. Our findings emphasize the importance of thorough evaluation and timely management to prevent missed diagnoses and optimize patient outcomes. Repairing extensor tendon injuries in the emergency department can be cost-effective and efficient, but careful consideration of patient and injury factors is necessary to determine the most appropriate treatment setting.
