  • EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF ALLOGENIC TENDON WITH SHEATH GRAFTING IN CHICKEN

    OBJECTIVE: To investigate availability of deep freeze stored allogenic tendon with sheath grafting in repairing the tendon and sheath defect in the II area of flexor digitorum tendon. METHODS: Sixty chickens with tendon and sheath defect were divided into 2 groups randomly, group A was treated with allogenic grafting and group B was treated with autogenic grafting, these two groups were divided into two subgroups respectively, they were, group A1 allogenic tendon with whole sheath grafting, group A2 allogenic tendon with partial sheath grafting, group B1 autogenic tendon with whole sheath grafting and group B2 autogenic tendon with whole sheath grafting. All the allogenic grafts were treated by deep freeze. Histomorphological study, histoimmunological study and slipping function of the grafts were measured after operation. RESULTS: In group A1 and B1, the local reaction was sever, the nutrition of tendon graft was barricaded by the whole sheath resulting in adhesion, degeneration and necrosis. In group A2 and B2, the tendon graft healed well and little adhesion existed between tendon and sheath. The results showed that there were significant differences between tendon grafting with whole sheath and tendon grafting with partial sheath. CONCLUSION: Deep freeze store can reduce the immunogenicity of allogenic tendon with sheath. Allogenic tendon with partial sheath grafting can be used as a new biological material for repairing the tendon and sheath defect.

  • REPAIR OF COLLATERAL LIGAMENT RUPTURE IN THE INTERPHALANGEAL JOINT USING SUPERFICIAL FLEXOR TENDON OF FINGER

    OBJECTIVE To introduce the surgical procedure and clinical result of microsurgical repair on collateral ligament rupture in the interphalangeal joint using superficial flexor tendon of finger. METHODS From 1987, 23 cases with collateral ligament rupture in the interphalangeal joint were repaired by part of superficial flexor tendon of finger. The initial point of collateral ligament was drilled two holes, 2 to 3 mm in distance, and crossed by steel wire. Then the superficial flexor tendon of finger was crossed under the steel wire and sutured to the terminal point of superficial flexor tendon of finger by 5/0 to 7/0 nontraumatic suture thread to maintain suitable tension, and sutured to collateral ligament by 8/0 nontraumatic suture thread. Extension splint fixation was performed 4 to 6 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS Followed up 3 to 6 months, 15 cases were excellent, 6 cases were better, 2 cases were moderate, and the excellent rate was 91.34% according to Saetta standard. CONCLUSION Microsurgical repair on collateral ligament rupture in the interphalangeal joint using superficial flexor tendon of finger is a convenient and effective surgical method.

  • TRANSPLANTATION OF THE PALMARIS LONGUS TENDON WITH A VASCULAR PEDICLE FOR THE COMPLEX INJURY OF THE DIGITAL FLEXOR TENDON

    In order to seek a good method to treat the severe, complex damage of the digital flexor tendon, an anatomical study based on 30 cadavers was done, and the result showed that the source of the blood supply to the palmaris longus tendon was from the radial and ulnar arteries. Three cases of severe complex digital flexor tendon injuries were satisfactory. Its main advantages were: (1) The tendon transplant had its own blood supply and had no need to the revascularization, therefore the adhesion formed between the tendon and adjacent tisues might be less;(2) Besides reparing the tendon defect, it can simultaneously solve the problem of the defect of the soft tissues and the skin.

  • Clinical application of Wide-awake technique in flexor tendon tenolysis

    ObjectiveTo discuss the method and effectiveness of Wide-awake technique in flexor tendon tenolysis.MethodsThe clinical data of 16 patients (22 fingers) with flexor tendon adhesion treated by Wide-awake technique for flexor tendon tenolysis between May 2019 and December 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were all male, aged from 18 to 55 years old, with an average of 35 years old. Among them, 4 cases (7 fingers) after replantation of severed fingers, 4 cases (7 fingers) after flexor tendon rupture repair, and 8 cases (8 fingers) after open reduction and internal fixation of proximal fractures. The time from the original operation to this operation was 6-18 months, with an average of 8 months. The visual analogue scale (VAS) score was used to evaluate the patient’s pain during local anesthesia (when the first needle penetrated the skin), intraoperative, and 24 hours postoperatively; and the recovery of finger movement was evaluated by total finger joint active range of motion (TAM) evaluation system and Strickland (1980) standard after operation.ResultsIntraoperative hemostasis and anesthesia were satisfactory, and the patient could fully cooperate with the surgeon in active finger movements. There were different degrees of pain during local anesthesia (VAS score was 2-4), no pain during operation (VAS score was 0), and different degrees of pain after operation (VAS score was 1-8, 9 patients needed analgesics). All incisions healed by first intention after operation. All 16 cases were followed up 9-15 months with an average of 12 months. Finger function was significantly improved, no tendon rupture occurred. At last follow-up, the patients after proximal fracture open reduction and internal fixation were rated as excellent in 4 fingers and good in 4 fingers according to the TAM standard, and both were excellent according to the Strickland (1980) standard; and the patients after replantation of severed fingers and flexor tendon rupture repair were rated as excellent in 4 fingers and good in 10 fingers according to TAM standard, and as excellent in 6 fingers and good in 8 fingers according to Strickland (1980) standard.ConclusionWide-awake technique applied in flexor tendon tenolysis can accurately judge the tendon adhesion and release degree through the patient’s active activity, achieve the purpose of complete release, and the effectiveness is satisfactory; the effectiveness of tendon adhesion release surgery after fracture internal fixation is better than that of patients after tendon rupture suture and replantation.
