Eight-stitch finger tendon repair without a splint
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This study tests a new way to repair a cut finger tendon using 8 stitches, with the goal of allowing you to move your finger soon after surgery instead of wearing a splint for weeks. It may help you recover movement faster and avoid stiffness.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- Your tendon injury was a clean cut, not a crush or torn.
- You had surgery to repair the tendon within 2 weeks of the injury.
