Resumen

LOPEZ VALENCIANO, Javier et al. It is necessary to inspect the wounds in hand dorsum and forearm. Rev Cubana Ortop Traumatol [online]. 2011, vol.25, n.1, pp.80-89. ISSN 0864-215X.

INTRODUCTION: Injuries in hand dorsum are frequent hospital emergences. It is necessary to study the relation between initial clinics and the tendinous injuries underlying in wounds present in this region, as well to assess its exact location, the type and etiology through observational study. METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted to assess 15 patients presenting with wounds in the hand dorsum and forearm, treated in emergency room of our hospital from June to December, 2009. RESULTS: The initial screening offer us a specificity and a positive predictive value of the 100%, but a sensitivity of 17,4% and a negative predictive value of 40,81% regarding the presence of the tendinous injury. CONCLUSION: Due to a lack of correlation between the initial clinics and a possible extensor tendinous injury, it is recommended the surgical exploration of hand dorsum injuries due to its simplicity and use of surgical act.
