Özet
Aim: In this study, we aimed to observe the results of primary tendon repair in acute EPL tendon ruptures and the results of EIP tendon transfer for chronic EPL tendon ruptures. Material and Methods: The study included patients diagnosed and operated for EPL tendon rupture and followed-up in our clinic between January 2012 and December 2020. Patients were separated into two groups according to the surgical procedure. Group A consisted of 13 patients who had EIP tendon transfer, and group B consisted of 18 patients who underwent primary EPL tendon repair. Preoperative and postoperative functional results of the groups were compared. Results: Group A had EIP tendon transfer surgery; ten patients were male (76.9%), and three were female (23.1%). The injury was on the right side in 69.2% of the patients and on the left side in 30.8% of the patients. All patients in group B had primary tendon repair. In group B, 14 patients (77.8%) were males, and four were female (22.2%). The mean q DASH score was 66.53110.99 for group A and 55.66:7.78 for group B. Postoperative q DASH score was 22.76 for group A, and 11.10 for group B. The joint range of motion was similar in both groups. Discussion: In acute EPL tendon ruptures, primary tendon repair is the first treatment to be chosen, while in chronic EPL tendon ruptures, EIP tendon transfer may be the first treatment option given our clinical results.
