Flexor Tendon Injuries (Hand)
A flexor tendon injury occurs when the tendon is cut or ruptures. The flexor tendons attached at the palm side of your fingers and thumbs. They allow your finger and thumb joints to bend, grasp items, and perform fine coordinated movements. The muscles that control these tendons are in the forearm. Lacerations, other trauma, and rheumatoid arthritis are the primary causes of flexor tendon injuries.
Flexor tendon injuries can cause loss of movement, pain, and swelling. Flexor tendon injuries require surgical repair. Splinting and hand therapy rehabilitation usually follow surgical treatment.
Your flexor tendons begin in your forearm and continue to the palm side of your fingers and thumb. Each finger has two flexor tendons and your thumb has one. They are located just underneath the skin. Sheaths thickened in areas by fibrous pulleys guide the flexor tendons and keep them close to your phalanges during motion. The flexor tendons allow your fingers and thumbs to bend, grasp items, and perform fine coordinated movements. The nerves in your fingers (digital nerves) travel parallel and along both sides of the flexor tendons.

Flexor tendon majeraha (mkono) Flexor tendon majeraha hutokea wakati tendon ni kukatwa au kuvunjika. Tendons flexor ni sehemu ya mkono wa mkono wa mkono na kidole. Hizo huruhusu viungo vya vidole na vidole vikubwa vya mkono wako kupindika, kukamata vitu, na kufanya miendo maridadi ya kuratibu. Misuli inayoongoza misuli hiyo iko kwenye mkono wa mbele. Majeraha, majeraha mengine, na ugonjwa wa nyuzinyuzi ni visababishi vikuu vya majeraha ya tendon ya flexor. Majeraha ya tendon ya flexor yanaweza kusababisha kupoteza mwendo, maumivu, na uvimbe. Majeraha ya tendon ya flexor huhitaji upasuaji. Kwa kawaida matibabu ya upasuaji hufuatiwa na upasuaji wa kuunganisha na upasuaji wa kutumia mkono. Tendons flexor huanza kwenye mkono wa mbele na kuendelea hadi kwenye mkono wa mkono wa mkono na kidole. Kila kidole kina tendoni mbili za kutikisa na kidole kikuu kina moja. Ziko chini tu ya ngozi. Vifuniko vilivyofunikwa kwa nyuzi huongoza tendons za flexor na kuziweka karibu na phalanges zako wakati wa mwendo. Tendoni za flexor huruhusu vidole na vidole vikubwa vya mikono yako kupindika, kukamata vitu, na kufanya harakati nzuri za kuratibu. Mishipa ya misuli ya vidole (mishipa ya kidigitali) husafiri sambamba na pande zote mbili za tendons flexor.
