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 study tests an exercise program focused on daily activities to improve hand function after surgery for a flexor tendon injury in the hand. It may help you regain movement and use your hand better in everyday tasks.
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 trial tests a surgical technique to repair a torn ligament in the wrist (the scapholunate ligament) using a part of a nearby tendon. It may be an option for people with this specific wrist injury who meet the health requirements.
This study compares two different types of cuts (incisions) surgeons make when repairing a tendon in the hand. The goal is to find out which cut leads to better healing and finger movement after surgery.
This trial tests a therapy using special energy (called Transfer Energy Capacitive and Resistive) to reduce pain and improve finger movement after flexor tendon repair surgery. If it works, it could help you recover better after your surgery.
This study compares two different positions for a hand splint after flexor tendon surgery. It aims to find which wrist position helps you heal better and move your finger sooner.
