Table 1. Tang adhesion scoring system.
Histopathological scoring in terms of adhesion severity | Score |
No adhesion, peritendinous space preserved. | 1 |
Minimal adhesion, peritendinous space preserved in many areas. | 2 |
Moderate adhesion, peritendinous space preserved in more than 50% of tendon circumference. | 3 |
Severe adhesion, obliteration in the peritendinous space in more than 50% of the tendon circumference. | 4 |
Tendon completely attached to the surrounding tissue. | 5 |
