Abstract
Background: Extensor tendon injuries of the hand are common in the upper extremities and often require surgical intervention. The Becker technique, employing a four-strand core suture, ensures suture strength and minimizes central gap formation, promoting early mobilization.
Objectives: To evaluate the clinical outcomes of surgical repair of hand extensor tendon injuries using the Becker technique.
Materials and Methods: A prospective study was conducted on 41 patients with 48 repaired extensor tendons treated using the Becker technique at Hue University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital between April 2023 and June 2025. Outcomes were assessed at 6 weeks and 3 months postoperatively using ASSH, Miller, and QuickDASH scores.
Results: At 3 months postoperatively, the proportion of good and very good outcomes was 100% according to ASSH and 93.7% according to the Miller classification. No postoperative infections or tendon reruptures were observed. The mean QuickDASH score improved significantly from 13.1 ± 7.9 at 6 weeks to 1.6 ± 2.0 at 3 months (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: The Becker technique is a safe and reliable method for extensor tendon repair in the hand, enabling early active motion and achieving favorable functional outcomes with a low complication rate.
