Pathologisch-anatomisches Läsionsmuster und klinische Symptomatologie der rheumatischen Handflexorensehnenerkrankung

Abstract

Rheumatoid flexor tendon disease is common. Tenosynovitis is often accompanied by tendon lesions. Ruptures occur as disease progresses. Exact assessment of complaints and clinical findings is mandatory to diagnose and localize flexor tendon disease. Early operative intervention helps to preserve the function of the hand.
