Ultrasound after hand tendon repair
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial uses ultrasound to check how well hand tendons are healing after repair surgery. If you had a first-time tendon repair and can return for a follow-up ultrasound, you may be able to join and help doctors see if ultrasound is a good tool for early recovery checks.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are an adult (18 years or older).
- You had a first-time surgery to repair a hand tendon after an injury.
- You can come back to the hospital for an ultrasound check-up after surgery.
- You do not have a collagen disease (like lupus or scleroderma).
- You do not have any hand deformities you were born with.
- You did not have a broken bone in your hand at the same time as the tendon repair.
- You are not having a repeat surgery or a planned staged repair.
- You do not have an active infection or poor wound access at the surgery site.

This trial tests whether a new ultrasound method (speckle tracking) can measure soft tissue movement and strain to help guide physical therapy. It is looking for three groups: male pitchers, people with a foot tendon problem needing surgery, and people who had ACL knee surgery.
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 tests whether a non-invasive treatment called extracorporeal shock wave therapy can help improve hand function after flexor tendon repair surgery. The therapy uses sound waves to stimulate healing and reduce scar tissue, and it may help you regain movement more quickly.
This trial studies if combining task-oriented exercises with mirror therapy helps people recover hand movement better after flexor tendon repair surgery. It is for working-age adults who had a direct repair of a flexor tendon in their hand.
This trial tests a special massage technique on hand scars after flexor tendon surgery. It aims to improve scar flexibility and hand movement.
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.
