Mini-anchor versus pull-out suture for finger ligament repair
Part of Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical methods to fix a torn ligament in the finger (volar plate injury). It aims to find which technique gives better recovery. If you have this type of closed finger injury, you may be able to join.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 55 years old
- You have a closed finger injury (no open wound) affecting the volar plate
- You have not had surgery on the same finger before
- You do not have weak bones (osteoporosis), nerve/tendon damage, or infection
- You are willing to participate in rehabilitation after surgery

This study tests a surgery that uses small anchors to repair a torn ligament in the wrist, which could help reduce pain and improve wrist function. It is for people whose tear is on the outer edge of the ligament, not related to wear and tear or a broken bone.
This study compares two different surgical devices used to fix a torn ankle ligament (called the syndesmosis) after an ankle fracture. If you may need surgery for this specific injury, the results could help show which device leads to better recovery.
This study compares two ways to treat certain finger bone fractures: using a small pin through the skin or using a splint. It also looks at early movement to help prevent stiffness and improve hand function.
This study looks at how the bone heals around small anchors used to reattach tendons or ligaments in the hand and wrist. It aims to find out if the anchors cause any bone problems after surgery.
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 study compares two ways to numb your hand during surgery to repair a cut finger tendon: one that keeps you awake with local numbing, and one using general anesthesia where you sleep. The goal is to see which approach gives better results.
