Surgery versus dressing for single finger amputations
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two treatments for a single finger amputation: surgery (reattachment) versus a special dressing that protects the wound while it heals on its own. It is for adults who are able to communicate in Finnish.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older.
- Only one finger (not the thumb) is injured, and the injury is a partial or complete amputation.
- The amputation is at the fingertip (Tamai zone 1 or 2) for any finger, or between the fingertip and the first knuckle (Tamai zone 3 or 4) for fingers 2-5 only.
- You can understand Finnish and fill out questionnaires in Finnish.
- You have not had a previous amputation of the same finger, and the injured hand has no other major condition that affects its function.
- You are not pregnant at the time of joining the trial.

This study looks at outcomes—how well treatment works—after injuries to the finger or thumb flexor tendons. If your injury happened in a certain location of the tendon and you meet other safety criteria, your care and results may help improve future treatment.
This trial looks at how well the hand works after surgically reattaching multiple fingers that were completely cut off. It aims to help patients understand what recovery might be like.
This study tests a special low-frequency ultrasound device to see if it helps fingertip injuries heal faster than a standard treatment. The ultrasound treatment does not touch your skin, so it may be gentler and help reduce pain or scarring.
This study tests whether adding fat grafting (taking fat from one part of the body and placing it in the injured hand) during surgery for a specific finger fracture helps improve healing and finger function. It is for adults aged 18-65 who need either a standard fracture repair or a second surgery to free a stiff finger after an earlier fracture.
This study compares two surgical techniques to repair an injured nerve in the finger. It aims to improve how well sensation comes back after a traumatic digital nerve injury.
This trial compares two surgical techniques for managing pain after a finger or toe amputation. It aims to find which approach better reduces long-term pain and improves recovery.
