[Active movement therapy after flexor tendon suture using a new dynamic control splint]. / Aktive Bewegungstherapie nach Beugesehnennähten mittels einer neuen dynamischen Führungsschiene.

The authors constructed a new dynamic guiding splint assisting the active mobilisation after flexor tendon repair distal to the wrist. In these cases, the "inverse" wrist position seems to be the best position for mobilisation. This means that finger flexion should be carried out during wrist extension, and finger extension during wrist flexion. The splint guides and co-ordinates the movements of the wrist and the fingers, and it limits the free usage of the hand.

[Immediate full-range active movement after suturing of the flexor tendon. A new dynamic guiding splint]. / Azonnali, teljes terjedelmü, aktív mozgatás hajlítóín varrat után. Uj, dinamikus vezetösín.

Immediate full range active movement after suture of the flexor tendon. New dynamic guiding splintAuthors emphasize based on literary data, the advantages of the active postoperative movements. A technique for suture and mobilization protocol are offered. They constructed a new dynamic guiding splint assisting the active movement and describe its preparation in details. Their own material, treated with the method suggested, is analysed.

[Does the flexed position of the wrist releave the stress on the suture in the flexor tendon?]. / Tehermentesíti-e a flexióban rögzített csukló a hajlítóín varratát?

Authors have examined the optimal position of the wrist from the viewpoint of active motion during the postoperative care, after the suture of the flexor tendons of the hand. Based on clinical and cadaveric experiences a motion of the wrist (inverse) in contrary direction to the motion of the fingers is suggested i. e. flexion of the fingers in wrist extension and vice versa. The tendon injuries distally and proximally from the wrist are discussed separately.

[Transplantation of the arm to the contralateral upper arm stump]. / Felsö végtag átültetése as ellenoldali felkarcsonkra.

Authors performed at a severe injury of the upper limb the transposition of the left hand and lower arm on the stump of the right upper arm. 10 months have passed since the operation. The present state is described.

[Contralateral autotransplantation of an upper limb]. / Autotransplantation einer oberen Extremität an die Gegenseite.

A case report of a contralateral autotransplantation after severe bilateral upper limb injury is presented. The left arm just above the elbow was replanted onto the stump of the right upper arm.
