This study examines the rehabilitation results when low-level laser therapy is applied in zone 5-8 extensor tendon injuries. Rehabilitation results will be evaluated with both objective measurements and patient reported outcome measures. The study was planned as a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized, two-arm study. Participants in both treatment groups will be given exercise therapy in accordance with the early active mobilization protocol and appropriate splint will be given to be used while exercising.
