Ultrasound to check hand tendon healing after surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study uses ultrasound to check how well your hand tendons are healing after surgery. It helps doctors see if the repair is working without needing more invasive tests.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 or older
- You had surgery to repair a hand tendon
- You can come back for follow-up ultrasound visits
- You do not have a collagen disease (like lupus or scleroderma)
- You do not have a congenital hand deformity, bone fracture, or active infection at the surgery site

This study uses a special ultrasound to look for swelling in the tendons near the knee and heel in people with psoriatic arthritis. It also checks a blood marker to see if it relates to the swelling and disease activity.
This study uses ultrasound to check for hidden shoulder problems in people recovering from a hand injury. It may help understand if hand trauma affects the shoulder even when you don't notice it.
This study uses a special ultrasound technique called elastography, which measures how stiff your shoulder tendon is, to check for damage or tears. It compares this with MRI results to see if it can be a reliable alternative to MRI for diagnosing shoulder tendon problems.
This study is testing whether ultrasound can be used to check the size and condition of a hand muscle (the thenar muscle) in people with carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) compared to healthy volunteers. It aims to see if ultrasound can help assess CTS severity.
This study uses hand ultrasound to evaluate carpal tunnel syndrome before and after surgery. It may help doctors understand how the wrist changes after treatment.
This study tests whether a special massage technique helps improve hand scars and movement after surgery to repair a tendon in the hand. It may help reduce scar tissue and make the hand work better.
