Comparing two treatments for finger fractures
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two non-surgical treatments for fractures of the finger bone closest to the hand. It will help find out which approach—a special cast or a simple splint—works better for healing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Broken finger bone in the main part of the finger (not the joint or tip)
- Age between 18 and 70 years
