[Errors and complications in the treatment of the nerve and tendon injuries of the digital flexors].

Retrospective analysis of mistakes and complications occurred during the treatment of 86 patients with the tendons injuries of 157 digital flexors was accomplished. The diagnosis of the tendons injury was established in 94.2% and of the nerves--in 19.6% of patients. In 88.4% of patients the flexing contracture of proximal interphalangeous joints occurred and in the majority of them an active flexing of interphalangeous joints did not restore. The majority of mistakes were caused by traumatic suturing of tendon and prolonged immobilization of the digit in flexing position.
