Failed surgeries performed at the hand surgery departments were redone with 48.7% [95% CI: 37–60] of excellent results (in 37 fingers of 76) and 14.5% [95% CI: 7–24] of fair results (in 11 fingers of 76). Failed surgeries performed at the general trauma units were redone with 17.4% [95% CI: 8–31] of excellent results (in 8 fingers of 46). This value statistically significantly differed from the hand surgery departments group: ÷<sup>2</sup> = 12.054; p = 0.001. For a total, excellent results were obtained in 36.9% [95% CI: 28–46] (in 45 fingers of 122) of reoperative grafting procedures and good results in 34.5% [95% CI: 26–43] (in 42 fingers of 122).</p> <p><bold>Conclusions.</bold> Analysis of the functional results of deep flexor tendon and flexor pollicis longus tendon grafting performed as a reoperative procedure showed that the excellent results with full finger function were achievable in patients who had previously undergone unsuccessful flexor tendon surgery in zone 2. But in general, the rates of motion recovery were significantly lower than in uncomplicated cases, even with a long history of injury. The worst functional results of reoperations were in patients who had previously been unsuccessfully operated in non-specialized medical units.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p><bold>Актуальность.<italic> </italic></bold>По данным литературы, частота повторных оперативных вмешательств на сухожилиях сгибателей при повреждениях в области фиброзно-синовиальных каналов составляет около 20% и не имеет тенденции к снижению, но функциональные результаты этих повторных операций и их возможности практически не изучены.</p> <p><bold>Цель исследования<italic> </italic></bold>— оценить результаты пластики сухожилия глубокого сгибателя пальцев и длинного сгибателя I пальца у пациентов, которые ранее перенесли неуспешные восстановительные операции по поводу повреждения сухожилий в области фиброзно-синовиальных каналов пальцев кисти.</p> <p><bold>Материал и методы.<italic> </italic></bold>Были проанализированы функциональные результаты пластики сухожилия глубокого сгибателя пальцев и длинного сгибателя I пальца у 109 пациентов на 122 пальцах в зависимости от двух факторов — характера первого неуспешного вмешательства на сухожилиях (шов в 51 случае и пластика в 71 случае) и типа стационара, где оно было выполнено (в специализированных отделениях кисти в 76 случаях и в травматологических отделениях — в 46 случаях).</p> <p><bold>Результаты.</bold> Повторные операции после неуспешного шва сухожилий и неуспешной пластики принесли отличные результаты в 13 случаях из 51 (25,5% [95% ДИ: 14–40]) и в 32 случаях из 71 (45,1% [95% ДИ: 33–57]) соответственно, различие статистически значимо (÷<sup>2 </sup>= 4,888; <italic>p</italic> = 0,027). После предыдущих неуспешных операций в специализированных отделениях травмы кисти наши повторные вмешательства привели к отличным результатам в 48,7% [95% ДИ: 37–60] случаев (в 37 из 76), к посредственным — в 14,5% [95% ДИ: 7–24] (в 11 случаях из 76). В тех случаях, когда предыдущее неуспешное хирургическое лечение проводилось в неспециализированных стационарах, отличные результаты после повторных вмешательств составили 17,4% [95% ДИ: 8–31], посредственные — в 34,8% [95% ДИ: 21–50] (8 из 46). Эти различия с группой пациентов, которым первая неуспешная операция была проведена в специализированном отделении травмы кисти, были статистически значимы ÷<sup>2 </sup>= 12,054; <italic>p</italic> = 0,001. В общей сложности отличные результаты получены в 36,9% [95% ДИ: 28–46] случаев (в 45 из 122), хорошие — в 34,5% [95% ДИ: 26–43] случаев (в 42 из 122).</p> <p><bold>Заключение.<italic> </italic></bold>Анализ функциональных результатов пластики сухожилия глубокого сгибателя пальцев и длинного сгибателя I пальца, выполненной как повторное вмешательство, показал, что у пациентов, ранее перенесших неуспешные попытки восстановления сухожилий сгибателей во 2-й зоне, достижение отличных результатов с полной функцией пальцев возможно. Но в целом показатели восстановления движений оказались значительно ниже, чем в неосложненных случаях, даже при большой давности повреждения. Самые низкие функциональные результаты повторных операций оказались у пациентов, прежде неуспешно оперированных в неспециализированных лечебных учреждениях.</p></trans-abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="zh"><p/></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>ruptured flexor tendon repair</kwd><kwd>ruptured flexor tendon graft</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>разрыв шва сухожилия</kwd><kwd>отрыв трансплантата сухожилия глубокого сгибателя пальцев</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="en">Dy C.J., Daluiski A., Do H.T., Hernandez-Soria A., Marx R., Lyman S.
