[2-stage plastic repair of the flexor tendons of the fingers: the indications and technic].

Based on their experiences with treatment of 58 patients with consequences of severe traumas of the hand the authors analyze and substantiate indications for using the method of the two-stages tendoplasty of finger flexors. The technique of implantation of polychlorvinyl rods is described in detail. Relatively high frequency of additional procedures on different anatomical structures of the hand is noted. Special attention is given to intra- and postoperative prophylactics of infectious complications. It was found that time of the second operation should be determined not only by the time of formation of the smooth wall capsule around the implant but also by the degree of liquidation of finger joints contractures.
