Clinical Trial Summary

The incidence of flexor tendon injuries in pediatric patients has remained largely undocumented, with a frequency of 3.6 per 100 000 persons per year.The pediatric literature demonstrates a higher prevalence of flexor tendon injuries in men, caused by sharp objects (glass or knife)


Clinical Trial Description

The diagnosis of flexor tendon injuries is more challenging in younger children than in adults . and delayed diagnosis in children is common . An innocuous appearing skin wound and a subtle functional deficit may hinder both presentation and identification of the injury.Pediatric flexor tendon injuries heal rapidly and contractures are rare, as long as the joint has not been injured. but Inadequate management can result in loss of hand function . Data involving children rehabilitation remain unclear, with some studies showing no difference between early rehabilitation protocols and four weeks of cast immobilization . Some studies claim that protocols are not necessary in children younger than six years of age, and that only immobilization is required and some studies show transition to a more aggressive early motion protocol . Although the incidince of flexor tendon injury in children is not low but the reported cases below the age of six years remains low Which makes reported results less trustworthy. This created the need for a better designed and larger number study to report results in this age group. ;
