Abstract
Abstract:
Background: Flexor tendon injury is a common kind of trauma and often challenging injury presented to hand surgeons. Aim of the study: In this study, we aim to test the influence of activated PRP injection on the functional outcomes after repair of both flexor tendons zone II, especially the decline in gliding resistance through avoidance of adhesion formation. Patients and Methods: 40 patients with injury of both Flexor Digitorum Superficialis (FDS) and Flexor Digitorum Profundus (FDP) tendons zone II were included in this study. Random distribution of the patients into two groups was done, according to whether activated PRP is injected or not. Group I: in which 20 patients had activated PRP injection in the tendon at the site of repair and Group II: it is control group, in which 20 patients had placebo saline injection. Both groups were evaluated at 8 weeks , 6 and 12 months postoperatively as regards: the Range Of Motion (ROM), Grip Strength and Finger Pinch measurements. Results: Group I showed a better Range Of Motion, Grip Strength and Finger Pinch strength of the injured side in comparison to Group II. Conclusion: activated PRP injection improved the functional outcomes after repair of both FDS and FDP tendons zone II.
