Flexor tendon repair without splinting
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests a new way to repair cut flexor tendons in the hand that doesn't require a splint afterward. It may help you avoid long-term stiffness and get back to using your hand sooner.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- Your tendon injury is a clean cut (not crushed or torn).
- The repair surgery happens within 2 weeks of the injury.
- If you have a nerve injury too, it must be repairable directly.
