New flexor tendon repair technique study for adults
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new device for fixing certain torn tendons in the hand and arm. It may help if you have an injury in specific areas (zones 2-5) and fit size requirements.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 22 years or older.
- Your tendon injury must be in zones 2 to 5 (not zone 1).
- You cannot have had prior surgery on the injured hand or arm.
- You must not have metal allergies or be sensitive to foreign materials.
- The injured area must have good blood flow and no infection.
- Your tendon width must be between 3.0 and 9.0 mm, and thickness between 1.5 and 4.0 mm.

This trial tests a new way to repair cut flexor tendons in the hand that doesn't require a splint afterward. It may help you avoid long-term stiffness and get back to using your hand sooner.
This trial tests whether a type of physical therapy using special energy (capacitive and resistive) can reduce pain and improve movement after surgery to repair a flexor tendon in the finger. It might help you recover better after your tendon repair.
This trial is testing a specific way to repair flexor tendons (the tendons that bend your fingers) using 8 stitches instead of fewer. It's for adults who cut a tendon in their finger (except the thumb) within the last 2 weeks and have no broken bones in that finger.
This trial tests whether an exercise program focused on daily activities helps people recover after surgery for a flexor tendon injury in the hand (zone 2). It aims to improve function and movement.
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.
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.
