Abstract
Extensor tendon injuries are more common in presentation than flexor injuries. They are often viewed as the poorer cousins on whom the more junior doctor can practice the art of tendon repair without significant risk of morbidity and poor functional outcome. Unfortunately this is not the reality. Understanding of the extensor anatomy helps predict associated injuries and guide subsequent management resulting in decreased morbidity and improved functionality.
