Frisch Tendon Suture

Frish A.A. - Austrian surgeon, professor.

In 1900, Frisch proposed a new method for suturing tendons. It consisted of the following: the ends of the cut tendons were stitched in the transverse direction, and then stitched along the length.

This method is called the “Frisch tendon suture”.

Using this method has several advantages:

– rapid restoration of the function of the damaged tendon;
– minimal scarring;
– significant reduction in pain;
– possibility of suturing without the use of anesthesia;
– preservation of sensitivity and mobility in the wound area.

FRISCH TENDON SUTURE

Frisch tendon (in/articular) suture is a method of surgical treatment of closed, non-displaced bone fractures and dislocations, using a non-fastening suture to restore the integrity of damaged ligamentous structures of the joint. The implicit anatomical suture was proposed by Hippocrates (460 - 377 BC). Research by modern authors, based on special processing of scientific data, has shown that the anatomical suture has certain positive aspects and is used in the treatment of closed (without displacement of fragments) fractures and reduced open fractures, in the conservative treatment of uncomplicated transverse diaphyseal fractures of the upper extremities with slight displacement of fragments. A.P. Dryuk wrote the book “Anatomical suture and periarticular diseases”, the publication of the fifth volume of which was planned for 2015. The author is the director
