Neglected Zone VII Extensor Tendons Reconstruction with a Palmaris Longus Tendon Autograft.

ABSTRACT: Background: This study reported a case of zone VII multiple neglected extensor tendons reconstruction with a palmaris longus tendon autograft in a 15-year-old boy 3 months after the initial trauma. Case presentations: Preoperative examinations revealed complete damage of the extensor carpi radialis longus (ECRL), extensor carpi radialis brevis (ECRB), abductor pollicis longus (APL), and partial injury of the extensor pollicis brevis (EPB). The extensor tendons were reconstructed with a palmaris longus tendon autograft combined with graft tunnel reconstruction within the scar at the level of the damaged retinaculum. After the surgical treatment, short immobilization and early rehabilitation were applied, providing passive sliding of the reconstructed tendon supplemented with a
