Summary

Wide awake surgery for tendon repair in hand trauma To compare the functional outecomes in terms of active range of motion for tendon repair surgeries performed under wide awake anaesthesia versus general anaesthesia.

Detailed description

All patients aged 15 or above with hand trauma resulting in tendon injuries were included.65 patients undergoing tendon repair in wide awake anaesthesia were grouped as approach arm and another 65 patients of general anaesthesia group were kept as control arm.Range of motion of corresponding tendons were measured at completion of sixth postoperative week using goniometer.Total active range of motion were calculated according to criteria given by Strickland method and American Society for Surgery ofthe Hand (ASSH). Functional outcomes were compared among two groups.

Conditions
