The wound was deep and lacerated the central slit of the extensor tendon over 80 percent. The tendon needed to be repaired; otherwise it would cause a deformity. PROCEDURE: 0.5 percent Marcaine was used as local anesthetic, and after anesthesia had been obtained, the hand was then prepped and draped in the usual manner. A tourniquet was then placed at the base of the finger. The wound then was explored. The extensor tendon was repaired with 5-0 PDS suture material. After completion, the skin was then closed with 5-0 nylon. The tourniquet was released. There was good perfusion throughout the finger. The dressing was applied. An aluminum splint was placed.
