Total questions: 15
Worksheet time: 8mins
Phases of tendon healing EXCEPT?
INFLAMMATION
CONSOLIDATION
PROLIFERATION
REMODELLING
The ideal instrument to hold tendon edges during finger flexor tendon repair?
Tooth Adson forcep
Non-tooth forcep
Artery forcep
Allis forcep
Following are factors, which is the least likely to affect the repair outcome?
Number of core suture
Suture material
Epitendinous suture
Location of injury
Which are NOT blood supply to the tendon?
Musculotendinous junction
Vincular artery
Tendinous artery
Osteotendinous junction
Quadriga effect is the known complication of flexor tendon repair characterize by flexion lag of the operated finger?
When is the strength of the repair tendon at the lowest?
1 week
2 week
3 week
4 week
Following are the ideal characteristic of the suture material used, EXCEPT?
Extensile
Easy to handle
Easy to knot
High tensile strength
What are the advantage of peritendinous suture?
Increase gliding resistance
Increase gap force
Decreased breaking strength
Shorter repair time
What is the difference between intrinsic and extrinsic tendon healing?
Intrinsic involves nerves, extrinsic involves blood
Intrinsic comes from within the tendon, extrinsic from surrounding tissues
Intrinsic healing is always slower
Extrinsic healing does not cause adhesions
Which suture technique is often used for strong core flexor repair?
Mattress stitch
Kessler or Modified Kessler
Purse-string suture
Simple interrupted suture
Which of the following is a common complication of open surgical Achilles repair?
Hyperesthesia
Deep vein thrombosis
Infection and wound healing issues
Ligaments injury
Which protocol is commonly followed post flexor tendon repair?
Immobilization for 6 weeks
passive motion only
early active mobilization under supervision
no motion for one month
Excessive tension during tendon repair can lead to ischemia and repair failure
Extrinsic healing of tendon involves only the tendon cells themselves
Passive motion protocols after tendon repair are completely outdated and no longer used
