Efficacy and safety of Dynavisc® gel in prevention of scar adhesions recurrence after flexor tendons tenolysis in zone 2. Multicenter retrospective cohort study.

Aim: Dynavisc® is a novel surgical product made of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and Polyethylene Oxide (PEO) designed to reduce post-surgical adhesions in tendons surgery. A multicenter retrospective cohort study was performed to investigate the clinical safety and efficacy of the Dynavisc® gel in reducing post-surgical adhesions after flexor tenolysis in zone 2.

Material Of Study: Thirty-one patients suffering from stiff finger after flexor tendon repairs in zone 2 treated with standard release with (18 Dynavisc®-treated group) or without (13 controls) anti-adhesion gel application into the flexor tendon sheath and around the site of the tenolysis, were collected in five different hand surgery units.

Multiple ruptures of the extensor tendons after volar fixation for distal radius fracture: a case report.

A 62-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital after a bicycle accident with a displaced left (non-dominant) distal radius fracture. After closed reduction a long cast was applied. Due to loss of reduction, twenty-four days later open reduction internal fixation with locking compression plate (LCP) was performed.
