RESUMEN
The aim of this study was to emphasize the importance of early surgical treatment of multicomponent soft tissue injuries of the wrist. A retrospective review was performed on 156 patients with multicomponent soft tissue injuries of the wrist who were treated between July 2007 and July 2015. All the patients included in the study were operated within the first 36hours of the injury and were hospitalized after the surgery based on the extent of their injury. The patients were evaluated in terms of age, gender, etiology, injured structures, total number of damaged structures, mean follow-up time, complications and reoperation. The results were evaluated based on tendon function, opposition, intrinsic muscles, deformities and sensation. According to these criteria, excellent results were obtained in 81.6% to 88.8% of the patients. Poor results were found in less than 4 percent of the patients. In conclusion, we believe that early surgical management of multicomponent soft tissue injuries of the wrist, a meticulous approach and regular physical therapy are required to achieve good functional outcomes.
