Wrapping hand tendons with amniotic membrane after release surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles clinical trials.
This study tests a new surgery to release a stiff hand tendon and wrap it with a special membrane made from amniotic tissue. The goal is to see if this helps the tendon glide better and prevents scar tissue from forming again.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have a stiff tendon in one finger caused by a prior injury or surgery.
- The stiffness has lasted at least 3 months despite hand therapy.
- Your finger can bend at least 150 degrees in the two joints closest to the fingertip (when the doctor moves it).
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and you are willing to use effective birth control if needed.

This study looks at whether a bio-dissolving (self-absorbing) gel improves how well the wrist flexor tendons glide after surgery for a distal radius fracture. You may be randomly assigned to use the gel or not, and the researchers will measure wrist tendon and clinical outcomes to see if it helps.
This study compares two different hand therapy programs after a tendon repair in one finger. It will help determine which movement approach—active or passive—works best for recovery.
This trial compares two different surgical approaches for repairing flexor tendons (the cords that help you bend your fingers) in the palm area of your hand. The goal is to find which method helps your hand work better after surgery.
