The Usefulness of Ultrasonography as a Guide for the Treatment of Delayed Diagnosed Tendon Injury in a 2-Year-Old Child
Figure 1
(a) Preoperative finding of the ultrasonography: the discontinuity of the FPL and both ends of the ruptured FPL tendon were shown. The asterisk showed the distal lacerated FPL tendon, and the triangle showed the proximal lacerated FPL tendon. The gap was calculated approximately 10 mm. (b) Operative findings: the primary suture was possible for the lacerated FPL tendon (arrows) and for the radial digital nerve (asterisks).
