1944 patients with 2418 lacerations of extensor tendons in the hand were treated since 1966. Follow up study was possible in 1031 (53%) patients. The discussion about the best method to evaluate the results of treatment lead to a better scheme for critical examination. The preoperative status was taken into consideration as well as the subjective meaning and brought into harmony with the objective results.
