[Value and place of tenolysis of the flexors of the fingers in the complex treatment of tenogenic contractures].

Having analysed their experience in the treatment of 102 patients with tendogenic contractures of the hand fingers the authors have proposed a test for prognosis of the recovery of the slipping function of the flexor tendons after suturing and tendoplasty. In cases of ineffective conservative therapy it is recommended to make tenolysis at the early stages of rehabilitation. Indications and contraindications, the operative technique including application of microsurgical technique and the authors' devices have been determined. The principles of postoperative management of this category of patients have been elucidated. It has been noted that tenolysis at the early stages allows to considerably reduce the terms of rehabilitation.
