Age, sex, hand injured, mechanism of injury, tendons and zones injured, number of affected digits, and comorbidities and complications were analyzed. Patients were divided into 2 groups: a pediatric group (\u226415 years) and an adult group (&gt;15 years).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results  Over the 9-year study period, 533 patients were surgically treated for acute traumatic tendon injuries of the hand. In the pediatric group (n=76), being male, the right hand, the extensor tendon, complete rupture, the middle finger, and glass injury predominated in hand tendon injuries. In the adult group (n=457), results were similar, but injury to the index finger and knife injury were the most common. An accompanying fracture was more common in the adult group and complication rates were non-significantly different.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusions  This comparative analysis revealed no significant epidemiologic intergroup differences. The belief that pediatric tendon injuries tend to be less severe is misplaced, and careful physical examination and exploration should be conducted in pediatric cases of hand injury.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.5999\/aps.2017.44.2.144","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,3,23]],"date-time":"2017-03-23T01:42:39Z","timestamp":1490233359000},"page":"144-149","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.5999\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Analysis
